Kabrhel Makes the 'Casino Royale'
Level 14
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel and Alex Foxen were heads-up in the pot with around 300,000 in the middle and the board reading A♠6♣3♠4♠. Foxen led out with a bet of 125,000 from the big blind and Kabrhel called on the button.
"Another spade, Matthew," Kabrhel pleaded with the dealer. The river was indeed the K♠ and Foxen checked this time. Kabrhel announced a bet of 440,000 and then celebrated when Foxen didn't snap-call.
"Alex, let me give you some advice. When somebody is talking on the river, it is never a bluff! Never ever a bluff," Kabrhel continued to blabber while Foxen thought about his decision.
Foxen eventually called and Kabrhel turned over his hand, one card a time. First the 10♣ and then the Q♠, "Casino Royale!" he shouted with the nut flush.
