The board was 
where Kabrhel made a bet of 50,000. Kinno check-raised to 120,000. Kinno did not opt to continue on the 
turn which allowed Kabrhel to pick up the betting lead once again to the tune of 130,000 which Kinno called.
The river brought the Kinno checked to Kabrhel who was deep in thought for his next move. A player on the table asked for the clock but Kabrhel made a big bet of 505,000 before the tournament director could get to the table. Kinno counted out some chips but then noticed something weird, there was silence at the table.
Kinno called Kabrhel out on it but the two-time bracelet winner kept composed and silent throughout. Kinno asked for a coin which a tablemate gave him and on the fate of a toss of a coin Kinno called. Kabrhel turned over 
. Kinno mucks his cards in disgust, and Kabrhel drags in a massive pot to become one of the biggest stacks in the room.
