The 18^th All Africa Poker Tournament concluded on Sunday 23 August and will go down in the Southern African poker archives as a competition of records. Wessel Jacobs (44) from Durban took the R1 million winning pot, in what will be remembered as the longest final table in the history of the All Africa Poker Tournament.  For almost 10 hours Jacobs kept his cool, playing the Ace of Spades and 7 of Hearts as the final hand, which won him the tournament and knocking Joe Rahme out in second place..

With just two days left until the August R3,500,000 All Africa Poker Tournament kicks off, excitement is mounting as to who will take the Million Rand 1st place pot.  After the exceptional performance of the Southern African team at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas last month, both the local and international poker community will be watching with interest to see how players fair at this tournament.

Piggs Peak Casino, home of All Africa Poker, is teaming up with 94.7 Highveld Stereo for the “Crack My Poker Face” competition. And if you can crack this inscrutable poker face, you’ll rake in the pot.
