The Collapse of Martin Kabrhel

Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel
Former big stack Martin Kabrhel just played his final hand here at the 2009 WPT Merit Cyprus Classic. Up to as much as 200,000 in chips earlier today, Kabrhel just played two back-to-back hands that resulted in his ultimate demise.

In the first, he opened with a raise to 5,400 from under-the-gun and was reraised to 18,000 by Zarion Raymin. Action then folded around the table and back to Kabrhel, who moved all in (88,400). It didn't take long for Raymin to make the call, as he tabled two red kings and found himself in great shape against Kabrhel's {A-Spades}{6-Spades}. The board ran out {3-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{K-Clubs} giving Raymin a full house and just under 180,000 in chips.

After that hand, Kabrhel was left with just 28,600 in chips, which he immediately put to risk holding {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} against Tal Cohen Sasson's {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}. An ace on the flop was all it took to send the maniacally aggressive Kabrhel to the rail.
