Kabrhel and Rocco Wage War on the River

Frank Visser

Level 23 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Michael Rocco limped his button with 6♥5♥ and Martin Kabrhel checked 7♦5♦ from the big blind. The pair then went on to check through the J♠4♠2♥ flop, as well as the J♦ turn.

The A♦ river completed the board and Kabrhel checked for a third time. Rocco then made the minimum bet of 160,000, after which Kabrhel responded with a raise to 360,000.

However, Rocco was a non-believer and put in a three-bet to 560,000. Kabrhel did not engage further and mucked his cards, awarding the pot to Rocco's six-high.

Level 23 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Tamas Adamszki raised to 750,000 from early position, leaving 1,000,000 behind. Michael Rocco slid out a three-bet to 1,300,000 and snap-called when Adamszki moved all in.

Tamas Adamszki: 9♣9♥
Michael Rocco: K♣K♦

Adamszki was in rough shape up against Rocco'sn pocket kings, unable to catch up on the Q♥Q♦3♥7♥5♠ runout to hit the rail in eighth place.

Level 22 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Tamas Adamszki raised to 250,000 from early position before Leonard Maue pushed all in for 675,000 from the cutoff. The action eventually folded back to Adamszki, who put in the necessary chips for a call.

Leonard Maue: Q♥Q♣
Tamas Adamszki: 7♥7♣

Maue's queens had little to fear on the A♥6♠10♥9♦A♣ runout and he doubled up to the same stack as Adamszki.

Level 22 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel opened to 240,000 from early position with 10♦9♣ and found a call from Michael Rocco in the big blind holding Q♣9♠.

The 9♦A♣A♦ flop saw Rocco check to Kabrhel, who continued for 220,000. Rocco then slid out a check-raise to 650,000, with Kabrhel calling to the 2♦ turn.

Rocco checked again and was facing a bet of 780,000 from Kabrhel. The call was made to the 6♥ river.

Another check from Rocco brought a check back from Kabrhel. Rocco showed his queen kicker to go with two pair, taking over the chip lead from Kabrhel.

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jerry Odeen raised to 200,000 from early position before Niklas Astedt put out a three-bet to 475,000 from the button. The action folded back to Odeen, who put in the call.

The flop fell 3♥3♠9♥, and Odeen checked to Astedt, who continued for 250,000. Odeen then shoved all in for 1,800,000 and Astedt immediately called to put the Swedish player at risk.

Jerry Odeen: A♥J♥
Niklas Astedt: K♠K♥

Odeen's flush draw was nullified when Astedt filled up on the 3♣ turn, making the 6♦ river meaningless as Odeen's elimination was already set in stone on the turn.

Odeen was the first player to leave the final table, leaving the eight remaining players on the official final table.

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised to 200,000 from early position before Tamas Adamszki shoved his final 310,000 in the middle from the button. Michael Rocco also came along from the big blind, but his plan was thwarted when Kabrhel put in a four-bet to 950,000 to force the American out, leading to a heads up showdown.

Tamas Adamszki: K♦10♠
Martin Kabrhel: 10♥7♥

Adamszki had a big lead, and it only grew when he paired his king on the A♦8♠K♥ flop. The Q♥ turn left Kabrhel with some outs, but the 3♣ river failed to deliver them, resulting in a triple up for the short-stacked Adamszki.

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel opened to 200,000 on the button and called when James Chen moved all in for 1,600,000 in the big blind.

James Chen: K♠9♠
Martin Kabrhel: A♥7♠

The J♣5♣A♣ flop brought Chen some additional outs as he tried to chase down Kabrhel's pair of aces. The 4♠ turn was a brick, while Chen's pair of kings on the K♥ river were no good.

Chen hit the rail in 10th place, bringing the remaining players to the unofficial final table.

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Orpen Kisacikoglu jammed his remaining 350,000 chips in from the cutoff, and Cedric Schwaederle made the call from the button. Jerry Odeen then three-bet to 1,500,000 from the big blind, leaving only 120,000 chips back and Schwaederle quickly got out of the way.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: Q♥2♥
Jerry Odeen: A♦9♥

The 4♦7♠10♥ flop helped neither player, but the 4♥ turn gave Kisacikoglu a flush draw. The J♣ river was a big blank, however, and Odeen's ace-high held to eliminate Kisacikoglu in 11th place, leaving the field on the final table bubble.

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

The action folded to Niklas Astedt on the button, who jammed all in while covering both of the blinds. Ole Schemion made the call from the small blind and the big blind got out of the way.

Ole Schemion: A♦5♦
Niklas Astedt: 4♠4♦

Astedt remained ahead on the 6♣3♥9♠ flop, and the 4♥ turn gave him a set. Schemion did not hit his straight draw on the 6♦ river, and Astedt's full house sent him home in 12th place.

Level 20 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Gab Yong Kim opened shoved from under the gun for 1,200,000 and the action folded to Timothy Adams in the small blind. Adams used some time bank cards as play continued on the outer table before making the call.

Timothy Adams: A♣J♥
Gab Yong Kim: 10♣10♦

Kim's pocket pair held through the 9♠6♥3♠10♥7♦ runout, sending Adams to the rail in 13th position.
