"Give him a warning. Not a penalty, just a warning for that hair. I don't want to look at it," Martin Kabrhel joked with a tournament official about Renan Bruschi. The official then playfully pretended to give Bruschi the warning.
"Want to bet he busts today? $2 million minimum. Put the money on the table," Kabrhel said to Mehdi Chaoui.
"Too rich for me," Chaoui replied.
Kabrhel then went heads-up to a 5♠3♦8♦ flop with Pedro Padilha. Kabrhel bet 40,000 from the cutoff, and Padilha raised to 155,000 under the gun.
"Against this guy I go double all in," Kabrhel said, once again pointing at Bruschi before calling. The turn was the J♣.
"The best possible card in the deck for my hand," Kabrhel added as Padilha bet another 140,000. "Very sus," Kabrhel said, calling to see the Q♠ river.
Padilha slowed down and checked as Kabrhel stood up from his seat. "Yuri, you know what's coming. You won't influence my action," Kabrhel said to Yuri Dzivielevski, who remained silent.
Kabrhel then turned to a masseuse standing by the table. "Because I like this lady," he said, slamming the table and checking behind. Padilha showed A♦9♦ for a missed flush draw, while Kabrhel had K♦Q♦ for a rivered pair of queens to win the pot.

Ladva again called to the 10♣ river, where Piekazewicz moved all in for 248,000. Ladva called with A♦A♥, but Piekazewicz had hit running two pair with K♥10♥ to win the pot and earn a massive double up.

In a blind versus blind battle, Martin Kabrhel bet 20,000 on a flop of 3♣Q♦Q♣ before Renan Bruschi raised to 60,000. Kabrhel called, and the 5♦ fell on the turn.
Bruschi then bet 45,000 and Kabrhel called. Both players checked down the J♣ river.
"Little Casino Royale," Kabrhel shouted out, turning over A♣J♥ and raising his arms in the air as his rivered two pair won the pot.
"Pow, pow, pow," he yelled over to Leonardo Rizzo over on the feature table.
"I play good, yes? I don't know why he's bluffing me in a big tournament," Kabrhel added.

Renan Bruschi was in the hijack with a raise of 45,000 in front of him before Fabiano Kovalski shoved for 260,000 under the gun. Bruschi called to put him at risk.
Fabiano Kovalski: K♣K♦
Renan Bruschi: A♦A♠
Kovalski had run his kings right into Bruschi's aces, and he got no help on the 10♠9♣4♥10♥5♣ board and was sent to the rail.
"What just happened? Kings against aces?" Martin Kabrhel asked.
"Catastrophe," Bruschi replied, borrowing one of Kabrhel's favorite sayings.

Pedro Padilha bet 15,000 from under the gun on a flop of A♣4♥5♥ and Yuri Dzivielevski called in the small blind.
The turn was the J♠ and Padilha bet 67,000. Dzivielevski again called and checked over to Padilha on the 9♣ river, and Padilha this time checked back.
Dzivielevski showed K♥Q♥ for a missed flush draw, while Padilha's 2♥2♠ were enough for him to win the pot.
"What just happened? I'm shocked. What was that?" Martin Kabrhel chimed in.
