Martin Kabrhel Hates Table So He Punts Off Stack, Reenters, Gets Sent to Same Table
Martin Kabrhel’s World Series of Poker Paradise (WSOPP) run continues to produce moments you simply do not see anywhere else. He had another "not like that" moment on Tuesday night in the Bahamas.
Fresh off a third-place finish in Event #8: $125,000 Triton NLH 7-Handed for $1,367,000, Kabrhel fired the $100,000 Triton Main Event and immediately got off to a fast start, spinning his 250,000 stack up to 359,000.
But the outspoken Czech pro wasn’t thrilled with his table draw. After asking the floor for a table change and being told he’d have to wait until the following day, Kabrhel decided to take matters into his own hands.
Kabrhel Gifts Wakeman 60 Big Blinds
In the penultimate Level of Day 1, Matthew Wakeman opened to 12,000 from the button and, after some trademark table chatter, Kabrhel moved all in. Ihor Popyk tanked in the big blind but folded, leaving Wakeman to snap-call with the bigger stack.
Martin Kabrhel: K♦9♣
Matthew Wakeman: A♣K♣
The board ran out 10♦10♣2♦5♠A♦ to send Kabrhel’s stack across the table and push Wakeman up to 820,000.
“Too tough table, can’t play here,” Kabrhel said as he headed to the registration desk for a reentry.
But poker has a sense of humor. Moments later, Kabrhel returned… only to be seated at the exact same table, just in a different seat.
