Martin Kabrhel Bubbles the GPC Main Event
The very last hand of the level was being played still while the clock was already moved forward by two minutes as per new TDA rule, showing 59 minutes left in level 17. However, one table was still active and it was the one and only Martin Kabrhel and Philipp Gruissem that clashed.
Gruissem raised to 210,000 from under the gun and Kabrhel moved all in from the small blind. The big blind folded and Gruissem peeked at his cards, then said "Oh, I have a hand Mister Kabrhel," and called moments later. Not all tables were finished with their action just yet and Kabrhel used the time for the usual entertainment program.
The card guessing game started and Kabrhel then joked "No, I didn't go all in, take it back," grabbing the all in triangle and tossing it back to the dealer, who duely placed it back in front of Kabrhel. A minute later, the Czech grabbed it again and placed his hippo on top of the all in triangle. "Bounty? What are you putting in for it."
"I have kings. You have three outs. Oh, you have ace-king. How can you call me on the bubble with ace-high?"
Once the cards were turned over, it was Kabrhel that was in need of help.
Martin Kabrhel: 
Philipp Gruissem: 
The board came 
and the kicker played to let the bubble burst.
All remaining 100 players have €2,000 locked up and will bag up for Day 3, which recommences at 12 p.m. noon local time.
