Nível 21 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Chris Brewer limped in with 8♣7♠ from the small blind and Martin Kabrhel checked his option in the big blind with Q♠4♣.

The Q♣J♦10♠ flop appeared and Brewer led out for 500,000 and was called.

Brewer paired up on the 8♥ turn but was still behind. Both players checked and the A♠ completed the board. Short stack Brewer made it 1,800,000 and Kabrhel folded the winner.

Nível 21 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Dan Smith raised to 4,000,000 with 3♠3♦ second to act, which prompted everyone else to fold.

Martin Kabrhel then opened to 1,000,000 with A♣J♥ from the button and Artur Martirosian defended his big blind with Q♥9♠.

Both players had a bit of the J♦10♦3♦ flop, with Kabrhel having top pair while Martirosian had an open-ended straight draw.

Action checked through to the A♦ turn which improved Kabrhel to aces and jacks. Martirosian led out for 1,000,000 and Kabrhel called.

The 2♦ river put a flush on the board and Martirosian sized up to 2,400,000 to get Kabrhel off the chop.

The bet worked and Kabrhel folded.

Smith Gets One Through; Kabrhel Continues to Frustrate Others

Calum_Grant

Nível 21 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

With K♥Q♦, Dan Smith opened to 3,300,000 from under the gun which left him with 2,900,000 behind. None of his tablemates called and he received a small boost before moving into the big blind.

The next hand, Martin Kabrhel opened to 1,000,000 from the cutoff with unscanned cards. Artur Martirosian, with A♥4♥, jammed from the small blind for 9,250,000 and got it through.

Kabrhel's cards were then shown as the J♠5♠.

Kabrhel left his seat and stood up which upset Alex Kulev. It had already been confirmed by the floor that players must remain in their seats when in a hand.

Kabrhel then opened to A♥9♣ from the hijack to 1,025,000. Kulev called from he big blind with A♠J♦.

Kabrhel then began voicing his displeasure about getting a talking to from the floor. The words "complete joke," were used.

Kulev check-called for 600,000 on the K♥Q♦2♣ flop which brought in the 8♦ turn which checked through to the 3♥ river.

Both players checked through to showdown and Kulev's superior ace took the pot.
