The Martin Kabrhel Rollercoaster Ride Continues

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

Down again, up again and down again. Czech Republic's Martin Kabrhel's start to the EPT has been just like a rollercoaster all day long. His stack once again took a big turn, this time on the way up.

With the pot already at 5,000 on the {10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop, Kabrhel checked before calling a 2,200 bet from his opponent. Kabrhel checked once again when the {4-Spades} appeared on the turn, however, this time when facing a bet of 3,700 from his opponent, he opted to go back to some table talk that he has displayed on-again and off-again throughout the day.

Kabrhel asked his opponent what he had with his opponent stating he had "two kings." Kabrhel questioned whether this meant two kings including the board or two kings in the hole plus the one on the board. His opponent stated that he had "two kings here," while pointing to his hand "plus one on the board," for a "set."

After the discussion, Kabrhel raised the action on the turn to 10,000 and his opponent called. The {2-Hearts} completed the board on the river and Kabrhel quickly declared himself all-in for approximately 20,000. His opponent quickly folded and Kabrhel questioned, "two kings?" before his opponent replied, "no straight."

After the table talk, Kabrhel exposed to the table the {9-Clubs}, which didn't connect with any of the board.

Petrangelo, Reichenstein Shove Stacks In

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Nick Petrangelo
Nick Petrangelo

Nick Petrangelo was under 10,000 and fighting for survival. He just jammed over a late position open and a call for 7,300 and got it through to keep his head above water.

At a neighboring table, EPT Barcelona runner-up Uri Reichenstein was all in for about 12,000 in a pot containing north of 15,000. The board read {q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and Reichenstein was first to act from middle position.

"This is a sign of weakness," his opponent postulated before thinking awhile more. "You have to have ace-king."

Ultimately, he did fold, and Reichenstein swept up the pot without showing.

Short Day for Kempe

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante
Rainer Kempe
Rainer Kempe

Rainer Kempe three-bet to 2,800 from the button after a hijack open to 800 and a cutoff call. The German high roller saw the opener move all in, and Kempe decided to call it off for about 11,000 after the squeezed player folded.

Kempe: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

The board ran out in Kempe's opponent's favor: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Spades}, with Kempe drawing dead on the turn.
