Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel raised to 100,000 on the button and both Catalin Diac and Musa Jusaj came along from the blinds.
The flop came A?2?2? and Kabrhel bet 50,000. Diac folded, but Jusaj raised to 150,000 and Kabrhel called.
The 10? fell on the turn and Jusaj bet 200,000. Kabrhel again called and the 8? fell on the river. Jusaj then moved all in for 285,000.
"Do you always have a deuce? I have ace-queen but it's not a slowroll," Kabrhel said as he tanked for several minutes.
"El passo," he eventually said, sliding his cards into the muck. "He has a deuce 100 percent of the time. That's one of the greatest laydowns in poker history," Kabrhel added as Jusaj took the big pot.

Martin Kabrhel and Catalin Diac have played a few pots together during the last few orbits and just clashed in a hand that had Diac all-in and at risk.
The action folded to Kabrhel in the small blind, who announced a raise to 2,000,000. Diac had exactly 500,000 in his stack and was contemplating for a while.
"Shall I take it?" said Kabrhel in reference to the pot, then he went to grab Diac's big blind, but Romanian player said to wait as he might gamble. Another minute passed and Diac finally decided that this was the moment, and he called.
Catalin Diac: A?2?
Martin Kabrhel: Q?4?
It was a big call from Diac, and one that was rewarded as his ace-high held up on the 10?3?J?8?7? runout, which earned him a stack of over a million.

Martin Kabrhel raised to 100,000 under the gun and Jacob Amsellem called in the big blind.
The flop came Q?J?9? and Amsellem moved all in for 150,000. Kabrhel snap-called.
Jacob Amsellem: Q?8?
Martin Kabrhel: J?9?
Kabrhel had flopped two pair, but the 10? turn improved Amsellem to a straight. The river K? put a straight on the board and they chopped the pot. "I'm running so bad. Usually it's a nine on the river," Kabrhel said.
The next hand, De Han Kim moved all in from the cutoff and Amsellem called for 280,000 in the small blind.
Jacob Amsellem: A?5?
De Han Kim: A?Q?
Kim had Amsellem dominated and improved to top pair on the Q?6?3? flop to take a bigger lead. The board ran out K?3? and Amsellem, who began the day as a massive chip leader, stopped to exchange a few words with Kabrhel before making his exit in 13th place.
"He's not happy he lost. It happens," Kabrhel said.

Catalin Diac raised from the hijack to 115,000 and Marius Schneider defended his big blind.
The flop came Q?4?A? and the two got the chips in, with Schneider at risk for his remaining 180,000.
Marius Schneider: Q?2?
Catalin Diac: 10?10?
Schneider had paired his queen and remained in the lead as neither the 3? turn nor 5? river was the ten that Diac was looking for.

Martin Kabrhel limped in from the hijack and Catalin Diac made it 150,000 from the cutoff. When the action got back to Kabrhel, he called.
"Don't do anything stupid, I don't want to bust you," said Kabrhel.
Both checked the 9?7?8? flop to the 9? turn, where Kabrhel fired a big bet of 450,000. Diac thought for a while then let it go.

Tiberiu Tirca moved all in from the small blind and Vito Barone quickly called for 480,000 in the big blind.
Vito Barone: A?4?
Tiberiu Tirca: 2?2?
Barone was racing for his tournament life as the board ran out Q?J?8?10?3?, keeping Tirca's deuces in the lead and sending Barone to the rail.
"Incredible," Barone said as he made his way to the payout desk.
