Kabrhel's Turn to Double
Level 25
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel open-jammed for 4,600,000 chips from the cutoff and the action folded the Niklas Astedt in the big blind. Astedt pondered the situation for a while before stating "Okay, let's gamble," and tossing in a call, leaving himself just 100,000 chips behind.
Martin Kabrhel: A♦Q♠
Niklas Astedt: 7♠7♥
The 6♠2♣8♥ flop remained clean for Astedt, but the Q♣ turn shot Kabrhel into the lead with top pair. Astedt failed to hit a seven on the 9♦ river, and he was left with half a big blind, while Kabrhel doubled back up to second in chips.
