Martin Kabrhel raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Landon Tice defended from the big blind. The flop fell A♣K♥7♥ and both players checked to the Q♥ on the turn.
Tice "weakly" checked again and Kabrhel baited him with a bet of 5,000, which was forced to be the minimum of 30,000. Tice called and the 6♣ landed on the river.
Tice checked once more and Kabrhel counted out a bet of 40,000. Tice looked him up and Kabrhel flipped over K♠9♥ for the "Casino Royale", which was deemed the winner.
Stephen Chidwick started things off with a raise to 50,000 in the cutoff. Mathew Frankland reraised to 180,000 on the button and Chidwick just called. The flop came A♣J♣10♣ and Chidwick checked to Frankland who continued with a bet of 125,000. Chidwick check-raised to 350,000 and Frankland called.
The turn brought the 2♣ and Chidwick checked again. Frankland tossed in a bet of 375,000 and Chidwick stuck around to see the 9♥ on the river. Chidwick checked for the third time and Frankland quickly checked it back. Chidwick rolled over K♦Q♣ for a flush and Frankland couldn't beat it.
Manuel Fritz raised to 50,000 from middle position and Seth Davies called from the hijack. Brandon Wittmeyer went all-in from the big blind for 575,000, Fritz re-jammed for more, and Davies folded.
Brandon Wittmeyer: 10♣10♠
Manuel Fritz: J♦J♥
The runout of 10♦9♦2♦5♥4♣ allowed Wittmeyer to chip up to 1,200,000 chips.
Leon Sturm opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Danny Tang just flat-called on his left. Adrian Mateos three-bet to 225,000 from the big blind and Sturm four-bet jammed all in for around 700,000. Tang quickly folded and Mateos called it off.
Leon Sturm: K♦Q♦
Adrian Mateos: A♠Q♣
"Give me my hand back," Tang muttered, noting that he folded pocket jacks.
The board ran out 10♥8♠2♠8♦A♦ and Mateos made a pair of aces on the river to send Sturm packing.
Martin Kabrhel has been up to his usual antics since taking his seat for Day 2, and a limp from him in the cutoff sparked off a wild hand.
Joao Vieira called from the button, and Chance Kornuth also called from the small blind. Nacho Barbero checked his option in the big blind.
The blinds checked to Kabhrel on the K♠5♦3♦ flop, and he bet 30,000.
"Not like that!" Kabrhel cried out his new catchphrase as Vieira raised to 120,000. The decision was on Kornuth, and as he thought over his option, the USA national anthem began playing, and like a true patriot, Kabrhel stood up while "The Star-Spangled Banner" boomed over the tannoy. Kabrhel, while Kornuth was still thinking, implored Alex Kulev to join him in standing up.
Kornuth then shoved for 375,000 total, as the music sounded off. Barbero then announced a raise of 500,000, and the table questioned whether it was a legal size. After some confusion and debate, it was determined that Barbero had to make it 630,000. Kabrhel then folded, and Vieira followed suit for the cards to go on their backs.
Chance Kornuth: 5♠3♠
Nacho Barbero: K♦4♦
Kornuth had bottom two pair while Barbero had plenty of outs with his top pair and flush draw.
The 10♣ gave Barbero two more outs but the A♠ river completed the board for Kornuth to double up.
After some table chatter, Barbero told Kabhrel, "You f***ed everything up with your limp."
"I'm not surprised, everything bad in this country is apparently my fault," Kabrhel quipped back as the dealer began the next hand.
