Aridgides Gets a Pivotal Double Through Kabrhel
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel started the action with a raise to 200,000 and was soon faced by a raise to 690,000 from Mark Aridgides.
Kabrhel just called, despite the few chips Aridgides had behind.
The wheel spun 3♦5♥7♣. Kabrhel checked and Aridgides pushed his remaining chips in the middle and Kabrhel went into the tank before he had clock called on him for maybe the 10th time this tournament.
Kabrhel declared a call before his time was up and cards were on their backs.
Mark Aridgides: K♥K♦Q♥5♦ 
Martin Kabrhel: K♠K♣J♦10♠
For the moment, the two were tied with a pair of kings but when the 8♣ and Q♣ rolled off the deck, Aridgides improved to two-pair to scoop a crucial pot as the short stack.
