Level 19 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel's original table broke, and to his delight he was seated just two spots away from Alex Foxen.

Meanwhile, Mehdi Chaoui opened to 240,000 from the hijack, which was called by Kabrhel, although he was much nore concerned about why Foxen wasn't happy, saying "Why is everyone so happy besides Alex boy", to which Foxen responded with "I don't know how you have so many chips with reads like that, I'm very happy".

As the 9♦6♠J♠ flop came out it was checked to Kabrhel who bet out 325,000. He continued to ask Foxen wasn't happy while Chaoui tanked, and eventually called.

After the K♦ on the turn, both players checked to the 8♥ on the river. Chaoui then bet out which 475,000, which Kabrhel instantly announced "CALL!". Chaoui tabled A♣J♦ for a pair of jacks, but Kabrhel let out a very loud "NOT LIKE THAT!" and tabled the winner with K♥Q♠ to take the pot with his pair of kings.

Level 19 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing A♣7♦J♣. Samuel Ju was all in, with Alex Foxen and Julian Pineda Lozano playing a side pot.

After the flop Foxen check-called a bet of 600,000 from Lozano. The turn was the 3♥ and once Foxen checked, Lozano bet out 1,300,000, which enough to chase Foxen out for the side pot, and leave Lozano and Ju heads up in the main pot.

Samuel Ju: 9♦9♣ All in
Julian Pineda Lozano: A♦K♣

Lozano out flopped the nines of Ju, and the 6♦ on the river locked it up for him, eliminating Ju.

Jose Rodriguez opened to 240,000 from the cutoff and defending champion Yinan Zhou defended the big blind.

Zhou check-called bets of 200,000 and 700,000 for the board to read K♠10♠6♣4♥5♦.

Action checked through to showdown, where Zhou's K♣6♦ was good for kings and sixes. Rodriguez's Kx8x went into the muck.

Floor Called as Martin Kabrhel Causes a Stir Over Tank in WSOP Super Main

Jon Sofen

Level 19 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Stop us if you've heard this one before: the floor manager was called over to the table to rule on a situation involving Martin Kabrhel on Friday during the Day 2a session of the $25,000 buy-in WSOP Paradise Super Main Event.

The $60 million guaranteed no-limit hold'em tournament, one three days of registration still to come (1c, 1d, and 2b), had just under $40 million in the pot at the time of publishing, or 1,575 entrants (six of which have come from Daniel Negreanu).

During that Day 2a session, which was still running when this article was published, there were interesting hands, including a controversial situation involving Kabrhel (what else is new?).

Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised to 200,000 from under the gun, which was called by Martin Sgrilletti on the button and the small blind Yinan Zhou. Then Alex Keating in the big blind three-bet to 1,400,000, before Kabrhel four-bet to 2,975,000. Both Sgrilletti and Zhou folded, but Keating made the call.

The flop came 3♥10♣2♠ and Keating check-called a bet of 1,200,000 from Kabrhel.

After the turn Keating check-folded to the 1,975,000 bet from Kabrhel, sending another pot his way.
