Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Brian Altman raised to 25,000 preflop from late position and Alex Foxen three-bet to 75,000 from the hijack.

Brian Altman: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Alex Foxen: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}

The river came a {10-Spades} and no improvement came to Foxen's hand while Altman became the new tournament chip leader.

Kabrhel Gone; Table Rejoices

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised to 100,000 from early position leaving himself 35,000 behind. Yifu He three-bet all in.

To cut a long and talkative story short, Kabrhel eventually had the clock called on him and this time called before his hand was declared dead.

Martin Kabrhel: {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Yifu He: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

"Daniel! I have kings," said Kabhrel to Daniel Negreanu at a neighbouring table before tabling ace-eight off.

"That's a dead man's hand," commented the dealer as the board ran out {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} sending Kabrhel to the rail.

Kabrhel again called out to Negreanu.

"Nobody's happy for you," replied Negreanu, before realizing that Kabrhel had busted. "Ok, then everybody's for you!"

Last Day of the Series But Kabrhel's Still Kabrhel

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

Liv Boeree shoved from under the gun for 157,000. It folded to Martin Kabrhel in the cutoff who...well, he was being Martin Kabrhel.

"I think this is it," he said to Boeree. "I think this is the hand."

He deliberated for a while longer and got to his feet, before a player at another table called the clock on him.

The floor ruled that a player was unable to call the clock on another table, and there was a brief discussion between Igor Kurganov and the floor. Kurganov then apologized for interrupting the hand.

"I'll let you get back to your thinking," Kurganov said. "Your fake thinking."

Eventually the clock was called on Kabrhel who received a 15-second countdown. The clock hit zero moments before Kabrhel's chips hit the middle, but his hand was declared dead.

"I had jacks," said Kabrhel, with the tournament just five eliminations away from the money.

Wang Eliminates an Opponent

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Wang three-bet all in over an open and a third player four-bet all in for less. The original raiser folded and the cards were turned over.

All-In Player: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Michael Wang: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Wang flopped a set on a {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop which had his opponent calling for running straight cards to chop. The turn {4-Hearts} saw the chance of a chop increase but the river {k-Diamonds} wasn't enough and Wang sent his opponent to the rail.
