Kabrhel Wins First Pot

Christian Zetzsche

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Chris Brewer limped the small blind and Martin Kabrhel in the big blind glanced at the stack of his new table mate before raising to 90,000, which Brewer called.

The 7♦5♣4♣ flop was checked by Brewer, who then folded to a bet worth 60,000 by Kabrhel.

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna raised to 60,000 from the hijack and Felipe Ketzer made the call from the button. The short-stacked Tamas Adamszki then committed his last 180,000 chips from the small blind, and both of his opponents made the call.

Suvarna and Ketzer then checked through the 3♣9♥Q♥ flop, before Suvarna made a 135,000 bet on the 9♣ turn. Ketzer quickly folded and a showdown was ordered.

Tamas Adamszki: A♣10♠
Santhosh Suvarna: 10♦9♦.

Adamszki was already drawing dead against Suvarna's trips, and he took his exit as the meaningless 2♣ river completed the board

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel opened the action with a raise to 65,000 on the button, picking up calls from Ren Lin and Gab Yong Kim in the blinds.

On a flop of K♥J♠5♥, the action checked to Kabrhel and he continued for 195,000. Lin then check-raised to 900,000 for Kim to fold. Kabrhel checked his stack for five seconds, then moved all-in and Lin called.

Martin Kabrhel: K♦5♣
Ren Lin: K♣Q♥

The 9♠ turn gave Lin more outs and he indeed got there with the 10♠ river to knock out Kabrhel.

Before raking in the pot, Lin pointed towards his cards and simply said "lady gaga".

Kabrhel came prepared, as he had already purchased a reentry ticket in advance and jumped back in right away, moving from the eight to the one seat right next to Lin.

Teun Mulder and Tamas Adamszki had also reentered to bring the field up to 29 entries.

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised to 70,000 from the hijack and big blind Ioannis Angelou-Konstas defended the big blind. The flop fell 9♦5♠K♥ and Angelou-Konstas checked to Kabrhel, who continued for 95,000 chips. Angelou-Konstas then raised to 225,000 and Kabrhel made the call.

Angelou-Konstas fired another 250,000 on the 2♠ turn and Kabrhel called yet again. The 4♦ river then completed the board and Angelou-Konstas shipped all in, covering Kabrhel's 450,000 remaining chips.

Kabrhel made a quick call and Angelou-Konstas showed his K♦Q♠ for top pair. Kabrhel, however, was sitting on A♠A♥ for pocket aces. They were good enough to double him up in the tail end of Day 1.

Player	Chips	Progress
Martin Kabrhel	2,035,000 1,035,000	1,035,000

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Chris Brewer got his last ten big blinds in via open-shove with the A♥9♣ and found himself dominated by the A♦Q♠ of Teun Mulder. There was some possibility of a split pot after the 10♥4♦2♠2♦ turn but the kicker played after the J♣ river.

Mulder then tangled in a smaller pot with Felipe Ketzer, the latter of which had open raised.

They checked the A♥7♠6♠ flop, Ketzer bet the K♥ turn for 165,000 and Mulder called. Both checked the K♦ river and Ketzer's A♣9♦ won the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Felipe Ketzer	2,200,000 475,000	475,000
Teun Mulder	1,050,000 50,000	50,000

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Quan Zhou raised to 65,000 from the hijack and Ben Heath flatted from the small blind. Felipe Ketzer also came along from the big blind, and the three players saw a flop of 4♣5♠3♦.

Heath checked before Ketzer led out for 55,000. Zhou made the call, but Heath pumped up the price to 180,000. Both remaining opponents folded and the pot was awarded to Heath.

Player	Chips	Progress
Quan Zhou	2,400,000 -600,000	-600,000

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

After the final three hands for the night had been drawn, Stephen Chidwick jammed his last 325,000 from an early position. Gab Yong Kim in the small blind moved all-in over the top and Hyunsup Kim forfeited his big blind.

Stephen Chidwick: Q♣9♣
Gab Yong Kim: A♠K♦

The 10♠7♥2♦ flop kept Chidwick's hopes alive but he was drawing dead on the A♣ turn to make the 8♦ river a formality.
