Kabrhel Check-Raise Forces Out Three Opponents
Level 13
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 100,000 and got three callers. The flop was 
and Martin Kabrhel checked to Ponakovs who continued for 110,000. Alex Foxen and Kathy Lehne — the other two players in the hand — both called.
With the action on Kabrhel, he used a time bank before check-raising to 975,000. The other three players all folded.
"Nice bet Aleks," said Kabrhel. "Do you want your 110,000 back?"
Cary Katz then leaned forward and picked up Kabrhel's hippo mascot that sat atop his chips.
"This really does embody you," he said. "It's a good mascot. Mouth open all the time."
"I take that as a compliment," replied Kabrhel.
