Kabhrel Commentates on Vogelsang's Unsuccessful Bluff

Connor Richards

Level 7 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Allan Barnes raised from under the gun and Christoph Vogelsang three-bet to 92,000 in the small blind. Barnes called, which the player in between them, Martin Kabhrel, was happy to see as he pulled out his phone and began commentating the action.

It turned out to be an interesting hand to commentate. Vogelsang bet 50,000 on the flop of 6♣K♥4♣ and Barnes called. Vogelsang then checked on the Q♦ turn to bring laughs from Kabhrel and Barnes bet 130,000 to bring more reaction to from the poker villain.

Kabhrel was looking like a Vince McMahon meme by the time Vogelsang called, and Vogelsang's lead out for 193,000 on the A♥ river nearly sent him over the edge. For the perfect climactic ending, Barnes called and tabled K♣Q♥ two pair to crush the J♦J♣ of Vogelsang, who was left with just a single 1,000 chip after trying what Kabhrel called "one of the greatest bluffs in poker history."

"We can celebrate now!" Kabrhel cheered. "Everything went according to plan!"

Level 7 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Lou Garza opened to 24,000 in middle position, and Vladas Tamasauskas bumped it up to 76,000 in the cutoff. Action folded to Rokas Asipauskas in the big blind, who used a time bank card before four-betting to 180,000.

Garza got out of the way, and Tamasauskas announced all in. As the dealer began to count his stack, Asipauskas made the call.

Vladas Tamasauskas: Q♠Q♣ All in
Rokas Asipauskas: A♥K♣

Tamasauskas was flipping for his tournament life, and held through the J♦6♠J♣6♦3♠ board to double and leave Asipauskas short.

Level 7 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Brock Wilson was all in from early position against the bigger-stacked Quirin Heinz in the cutoff.

Brock Wilson: A♠Q♣ All in
Quirin Heinz: K♥K♦

Wilson couldn't hit an ace to crack kings as the board ran out 3♦8♦6♦2♣J♦ to improve Heinz to a flush and send the high-stakes pro to the rail.

"Swap is off!" table mate Nick Palma told Wilson.

Level 7 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A preflop raising war took place at Table 32 as Gustavo Morales opened to 25,000 in the hijack and Dennys Ramos three-bet to 75,000 in the cutoff.

Morales used a time bank and then clicked it back to 190,000 before Ramos five-bet to 305,000. Morales had seen enough and folded to hang onto his remaining 500,000.

Talk about a morale killer.

Level 7 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Lautaro Guerra raised from under the gun and made a quick call after Brandon Steven moved all in on the button.

"Uh oh," Steven said as he saw the call.

Brandon Steven: A♥J♠ All in
Lautaro Guerra: J♣J♦

Steven could not connect with the 9♥Q♥7♣4♣8♥ runout, seeing his stack head to the other end of the table. As soon as he was busted in the WSOP+ app, Steven reentered and headed to his next table.

Level 7 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Marcelo Aziz was all in from early position, facing Iuri Ribeiro in the cutoff with the cards on their backs.

Marcelo Aziz: A♣K♣ All in
Iuri Ribeiro: A♠Q♣

Aziz was in great shape until the Q♥6♣5♥ flop, which saw Ribeiro take the lead with top pair. The 4♠ turn and 7♠ river changed nothing, and Aziz wished the table good luck on his way to the exit.

Connor Richards

Level 7 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Tom Vogelsang opened to 27,000 in the hijack and Lou Garza three-bet jammed a stack of around 350,000 in the small blind. After some thought, Vogelsang called with a bigger stack.

Lou Garza: J♣10♣ All in
Tom Vogelsang: K♠Q♠

Despite Vogelsang flopped trips as the dealer fanned Q♣6♣Q♦, it was a fiar fight as Garza had improved to a flush draw. But the board finished out A♠6♠ and Garza was sent to the rail.
