Martin Kabrhel Eliminated in 6th Place ($759,362)

Level 22 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel

First to act, Martin Kabrhel raised to 2,000,000 with {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, leaving just 150,000 behind. To his left, Brandon Steven clicked it to 4,000,000 with {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}.

Sam Soverel found {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} in the big blind and, with a raise and reraise in front of him, was able to find a fold from his 13 big blind stack. Kabrhel called it off for the few extra chips

The flop {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades} wasn't of much help to the Czech motormouth, but the {5-Diamonds} on the turn added a flush draw to his kings. The river was a red card, but it was the {q-Hearts} to end Kabrhel's bid at a third bracelet in 6th place.

Kabrhel Gets Called By Foxen

Level 22 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel moved all in for 675,000 second to act and Alex Foxen isolated by three-bet jamming from the small blind, which inspired Chirs Hunichen to fold from the big.

Alex Foxen: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Martin Kabrhel: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Kabrhel took the lead on the {k-Hearts}{3-Spades}{q-Spades} flop and he held through the {5-Hearts} turn and {8-Clubs} river.

Soverel Leaves Kabrhel on Fumes

Sam Soverel raised to 2,000,000, leaving himself with just 475,000 behind. To his left, Martin Kabrhel three-bet shoved all in for 3,150,000 and Soverel called it off. Kabrhel had Soverel covered by just 1.5 big blind.

Sam Soverel: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Martin Kabrhel: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Soverel's pocket eights remained best for a double-up.

Steven Snap-Folds Ace-Queen

Level 22 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Adrian Mateos opened to 800,000 with the {k-Spades}{10-Spades} and Alex Foxen three-bet to 1.9 million with the {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

Action folded to Brandon Steven in the big blind and he looked down at the {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}. He must not have liked it as he quickly folded, and Mateos followed suit to give Foxen the pot without further resistance.

In a blind-on-blind confrontation between Brandon Steven ({7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}) and Adrian Mateos ({k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}), action was checked to the river on a {2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} board.

Steven tried to take it with a bet of 700,000 but Mateos was having none of it and correctly called with king-high.
