Jaffe Busts After Kabrhel "Slow Roll"

Connor Richards

Level 16 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Jonathan Jaffe opened to 230,000 on the button and Martin Kabrhel three-bet to 850,000 in the small blind. Jaffe four-bet jammed a stack of around 3,500,000 and Kabrhel went in the tank as he asked for a count and reviewed his stack. After about a minute, he called.

Jonathan Jaffe: A♠5♥ All in
Martin Kabrhel: A♣K♠

Jaffe was dominated and couldn't improve as the board ran out 7♣7♠8♠10♥6♠ to mark his elimination. Meanwhile, Brynn Kenney criticized Kabrhel for what he thought was a "slow roll."

"You think it was a slow roll?" asked Kabrhel.

"Are you going to fold?" asked Kenney.

"I was counting my stack," Kabrhel replied.

Level 16 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu commented that tablemate Martin Kabrhel was a "walking advertisement" for ADHD medication — "He's a commercial for Adderall" — before Kabrhel opened to 320,000 in the cutoff and Negreanu defended in the big blind.

Negreanu checked on the flop of 8♥J♥Q♦ and Kabrhel continued for 165,000. Negreanu folded.

"Text Amanda and tell her you made the first mistake of the day," said Kabrhel.

Level 16 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Alex Foxen was one of the shorter stacks in the room and pushed all in for 2,095,000 in early position. The action folded to Jeremy Ausmus in the big blind who asked for the count and then called.

Alex Foxen: J♠J♣ All in
Jeremy Ausmus: A♠Q♣

The flop came Q♠J♦5♣ and Foxen picked up a set of jacks to take a big lead. The Q♦ on the turn made things interesting and Seth Davies managed to get a rise out of the table.

"Not like that," Davies mumbled, impersonating Martin Kabrhel. The 3♥ on the river was safe for Foxen who scored a double up.

Op-Ed: Is Martin Kabrhel's Act Good for Poker and the WSOP?

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jon Sofen

Level 16 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

No player has commanded more attention at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) than Martin Kabrhel, partly for his strong performance, but mostly for his antics.

The clock has been called on the Czech high roller more often this summer than the Paris Hotel parking garage attendant, and he's been yapping away so much at the poker tables that even Daniel Negreanu had enough during a recent final table appearance.

Level 16 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Christoph Vogelsang limped the small blind and Alex Foxen checked his option in the big blind.

They checked down to the 9♥9♦6♠K♦9♠ board before Vogelsang bet 200,000 and Foxen called. Vogelsang tabled A♣4♠ for trips with an ace kicker which was good as he got some river value.

The next hand, Foxen limped the small blind and Thomas Boivin checked his option.

On the J♥10♣3♣ flop, Foxen led for 160,000, Boivin raised to 480,000, and Foxen folded as the pace of play slows on the soft bubble.

The action folded to Andrew Lichtenberger on the button who shoved all in for 1,985,000. In the midst of a conversation with the other table, Seth Davies looked down at his cards in the big blind and instantly called.

Andrew Lichtenberger: 4♥4♣ All in
Seth Davies: A♠K♠

The flop came K♦10♥4♦ with the king in the window for Davies but the four quickly followed for Lichtenberger. The 3♦ on the turn left Davies drawing dead to the Q♣ on the river.

The Kabrhel Show Continues as Negreanu Fights Back

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Brett Slezak

Level 16 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel opened the button to 325,000 and Chris Brewer called from the big blind.

Brewer check-called a min-bet of 160,000 on the K♠Q♠8♦ flop before the 9♦ turn and K♣ river checked through. Brewer tabled A♠7♠ which was no good against the A♣J♠ of Kabrhel as he dragged a small one.

The next hand, Kabrhel opened the cutoff to 325,000 before it folded to Daniel Negreanu in the big blind.

Fed up with the antics of Kabrhel, Negreanu decided to take a stand, literally, as he stood up from his chair and announced, "One million, bitch!" for a three-bet to 1,000,000.

Kabrhel did not take so kindly to Negreanu's energized response and complained to the floor, "If I do this I get four round penalty," before ultimately folding.
