Kabrhel Continues to Build

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel has started the day in typically loquacious form, mixing in a few stretches to warm up with asking for a table change because "there are better players and dealers over there", and suggesting that the table should start straddling, asking each individual tablemate if they were up for it. None seemed too keen.

Action folded to Kabrhel on the button, who opened to 60,000. Adrian Ibanescu was in the big blind, and he pondered the spot for a moment. While he was thinking, Kabrhel asked from where Ibanescu hailed. On being informed the answer was Romania, Kabrhel asked "Bucharest?" I like Bucharest a lot". Ibanescu called.

The flop came Q♠5♥3♥, and Ibanescu took a bit of time before checking. Kabrhel fired out a bet of 65,000, and Ibanescu called.

The 6♦ hit on the turn, and Ibanescu checked once more. Kabrhel wasn't about to slow down, and slid out a bet of 150,000, leading to a relatively prompt fold from Ibanescu.

"Good fold, Romania" said Kabrhel, "You want to see?". Ibasnecu nodded and Kabrhel mucked his cards, saying "No, at the final table I'll show everything, every hand, especially to you".

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Paul Hoefer shoved for his last 290,000 from middle position and action checked to Dmitrijs Petrenko on the button, who tanked a bit before announcing he was all in for more. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.

Paul Hoefer: A♠10♥ All in
Dmitrijs Petrenko: K♣K♦

Hoefer was in trouble against Petrenko's kings, but the 2♠6♥Q♣8♠A♦ runout paired Hoefer's ace on the end — awarding him the double up in dramatic fashion.
