Kabrhel Loses Chunks

Christian Zetzsche

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised from the cutoff and Mario Prats called in the small blind. The flop was checked through and Prats also checked the turn. Kabrhel bet 43,000 and Prats moved all in. Kabrhel asked how much more he had to call and it was deemed to be for 305,000 on top.

After some table chat, Kabrhel said "OK," and stacked up the chips for the call he had previously prepared. He didn't call yet, though, and that's when John Esposito called the floor. "Sometimes you need to gamble," Kabrhel added and the clock was called on him. After half of the 30 seconds had passed, Kabrhel indeed called.

"Oh, good call," Esposito said, and the river was a blank. More table chat emerged between Esposito and Kabrhel and the former said "Oh, you had a good hand. You had queen-four off." Kabrhel was down to just seven big blinds and shoved the next hand without being called.
