Maio Vanquishes Kabrhel

Ryan Lashmar

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was picked up preflop. Martin Kabrhel had already placed a bet of 18,000 from middle position, leaving only 3,000 behind. Anthony Maio had made a pot-sized raise, sending Kabrhel deep into the tank despite having already committed 85% of his stack.

After a significant amount of time and table talk, Kabrhel finally made the call to put himself at risk.

Martin Kabrhel: Q♦Q♥3♣2♥
Anthony Maio: K♦K♥6♣5♦

The board ran out 10♠3♠J♠10♣9♦, Maio's Kings held and Kabrhel was sent to the rail.
