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

Heads-up on a board of 5♠8♣4♦6♠2♥, Martin Kabrhel in the big blind bet 5,000.

"If you go all in, you're my new hero... After Taylor (the dealer's name)," Kabrhel said to the under-the gun player, who raised 25,000.

"What do you have?" Kabrhel asked. "I don't believe you. I have to call your bluff," he added before making the call. The under-the-gun player revealed 7♣7♦ for a straight and scooped the pot.

"I'm on tilt now," Kabrhel said while three-betting on the next hand. He made a continuation-bet on the 2♥9♣3♠ flop, but made his opponent fold.
