In the end, it came down to a flip.
Chance Kornuth shoved with pocket fours. Martin Kabrhel called with ace-queen and hit to seal Kornuth’s elimination after a roller-coaster few hands for him.
Kabrhel doesn’t really need chirping chips, but he now has a ton of chips and is chirping away in search of a new friend/target.
John Espositio is looking over from another table and throwing a few barbs his way, but their battle has yet to be properly started.

Chance Kornuth opened the action to 12,000, and Lariena Garrett three-bet from the small blind to 62,000. Small blind Martin Kabrhel seemed to take close interest in the action, sizing up Garrett’s stack and taking a few sips from his bottle of water before flicking his cards away.
Kornuth called, and they saw a flop of . Kornuth moved all in, and Garrett called to put her tournament life at risk.

Chance Kornuth and Martin Kabrhel are not getting on so well. Kabrhel and former tablemate John Esposito were getting on fine, but Kabrhel just seems to rub Kornuth up the wrong way.
A small pot was resolved as Kabrhel was looking at his phone and then he asked the dealer how much a bet had been. On a previous table, this had been accommodated. Kornuth was less than impressed, telling him he should be paying attention like everyone else. Kabrhel then called the floor to ask him if he was allowed to ask what the bet amount was.
“It’s a visual game.” the floor explained.
“My eyes are not so good.” pleaded Kabrhel.
