Van Der Merwe Among the Latest Casualties

Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ahmed Karrim had been eliminated from table 11 and another two players followed soon after. First to fall was Wouter Van Der Merwe, who was left with a severe short stack and his all-in was called by Jarred Solomon.
Wouter Van Der Merwe: A?7?
Jarred Solomon: 8?8?
"I am rooting for you," Solomon said with a smile on the face and added "let me win the big pots".
The A?8?4? flop left Van Der Merwe on the ropes and the J?3? runout sealed his fate. Timothy Du Plessis followed right after when he was all-in for fewer than a full big blind.
