Kabrhel Talks His Way to A Fold

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

The ever-talkative Martin Kabrhel was recently involved in a pot with Vivian Saliba, where 14,000 was in the middle on a turn board of {5-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

From the small blind, Kabrhel was playfully talking to Saliba, inquiring about the strength of her hand. "You have kings? Be a man, tell me, kings?"

Kabrhel then put his trademark hippopotamous card protector in front of Saliba before betting 8,000.

"She's folding, write it down," said Kabrhel to the PokerNews live reporting team.

Saliba did indeed fold, sending the pot to the two-time Czech bracelet winner

Kyriakides Rivers the Nuts and Gets Paid

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Miltiadis Kyriakides bet the heads-up flop of {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} when checked to and made it 2,600 to go, his sole remaining opponent called. Both checked the {3-Clubs} turn and the {q-Spades} river completed the board. The small blind check-called a pot-sized bet worth 9,100 and mucked when the PLO specialist from Cyprus showed his {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for the nuts.

Bleznick Back From the Brink

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante
Jared Bleznick
Jared Bleznick

Jared Bleznick was seen not long ago with as little as 5,500 chips, but he's rebuilt his stack before dropping a bit in this pot.

With 10,500 in the pot on a completed board of {j-Clubs}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, Cody Rich checked to Bleznick, who bet the size of the pot.

Rich made the call, and Bleznick rolled over {a-Spades}{7-Spades}, saying "you win, one pair."

Rich then showed {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a king-high straight and the winner.

Even with the loss, Bleznick is back over starting stack after nearly being out the door.

Donabedian Loses a Bunch to Reyf

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Three ways to the {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades} turn, Andrew Donabedian bet 15,000 in the small blind and Alexander Hoff folded during one of the last hands before the break. Alan Reyf called and Donabedian then checked the {5-Spades} on the river.

Reyf made it 35,000 to go and Donabedian reluctantly called as Reyf flashed the {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for the nut straight.
