Hirs took a moment and then put out another bet of 21,000. Aldemir called again.

Kabrhel Peeks, Caza Peeks Back

connorrichards

Nível 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Martin Kabrhel's antics are continuing here in The Bahamas and the latest incident caused a holdup at Table 30 with warnings of one-round penalties for two players.

According to those around the table, action folded to Kabrhel in the small blind and he eyed Steven Caza's stack in the big blind as Caza peeled his cards. Concerned that Kabrhel may have taken a peek at his cards, Caza peeked right back to lead Kabrhel to call for the floor.

A separate issue presented itself as Kabrhel and another player at the table spoke in another language, causing further concern to Caza. "What if they are saying 'I folded the five of hearts?'" he told the floor.

The floor ruled that the hand would play out and warned all players to only speak English at the table.

"And it's OK he maybe see my hand?" asked Kabrhel.

Kabrhel then raised to 4,000 and Caza pulled his hoodie over his mouth before calling. Kabrhel checked on the flop of K♦K♣9♦ and Caza checked back. Kabrhel then bet 3,000 on the J♣ turn and Caza folded.
