JC Rises Again; Martin Kabrhel Eliminated (£22,847)

Martin Kabrhel, not his day
Martin Kabrhel, not his day

Jim Collopy and Martin Kabrhel were pulling no punches preflop in the last ten minutes, taking turns to re-raise each other preflop or simply move in over the button's raise. These large bets were uncalled the first few times both parties made them, but then Kabrhel asked for a countdown on Collopy - 191k the answer - and called. He held (on the button) {A-Hearts} {9-Spades} against Collopy's {A-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}. From the way neither player reacted you'd hardly have known that Collopy spiked the {4-Diamonds} on the turn to double through and leave Kabrhel short once again.

"You're running really hot," Kabrhel did allow himself to say. "It's a good skill to be good at showdown."

"I could've pretended I thought I had Aces," said Collopy.

That pretty much spelled the end of Kabhrel, who got it in with his own dominated Ace - {A-Spades} {2-Clubs} vs. {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} but failed to outdraw Collopy who progresses to the next round in just half an hour's time.
