Schulman Bluffs Kabrhel; Deeb Calls Clock; The Floor Intervenes

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

On a river reading Q5Q4J, Martin Kabrhel had placed a bet of 140,000 but was soon faced by an all-in raise from Nick Schulman up to 342,000.

Schulman, always even-keel, stomached the table talk and antics of Kabrhel while the Czech pro said, "I have a full house but not the best one..." before being reprimanded by the dealer for discussing his hand. Kabrhel went on to request that the dealer pull in the difference of his bet, which Schulman obliged and did himself.

After cutting out the chips and holding the double barrels but not calling, Shaun Deeb called the clock on Kabrhel. This noticeably agitated Kabrhel, who said, "Complete joke, you're out of line..."

Kabrhel looked pained but allowed the 30-second countdown to run through, and his hand was dead.

Schulman went on to windmill slam his hand on the table with the AJ54, which only had blockers to the boat.

"No round of applause?" Schulman said, as the rest of the table couldn't quite process what had happened yet.

"I thought you had just the four-five for the bluff, ace-jack is even better," said Deeb.

All of a sudden, Kabrhel, who never has a shortage of things to say, was left in a palpable silence, only to be broken by Schulman chiming in, "Say my name, Martin."

Kabrhel had spent the majority of the start of the day and bubble play needling Schulman for his short stack, going as far as asking the table to give him a round of applause when his stack eclipsed the 100,000-chip mark, many hours ago.

The Very Next Hand:

Action was on Kabrhel, but before he had even looked at his cards, he leaned in to the dealer and inquired what he was being reprimanded for the hand before. An equally agitated Deeb proceeded to call the clock on Kabrhel, expressing his concern about the table's pace.

"We have six of the fastest players in the room; it's obvious who the problem is," Deeb told the floor when they came to investigate the issue.

Kabrhel went on to win the hand and immediately returned his attention to Deeb.

Kabrhel requested an apology from Deeb, who refused, so Kabrhel asked Deeb to no longer talk to him at the table. A request Deeb assuredly had no issue with.

Lucky for all the parties involved, their table was next to break and since these hands, the players have now been separated.
