Kabrhel Doubles With Ace-High, Causes Sternheimer's Demise
Biao Ding raised to 50,000 under the gun. Martin Kabrhel inquired if that was a legal size before he called. Philip Sternheimer then raised the pot to 215,000 in the small blind, folding out Ding.
"In for a dime, in for a house," Kabrhel chimed as he put in a call.
The flop fell 5♠J♠5♦. "I think I have a five," Kabrhel gleefully stated as he checked his cards. "Yes! It's so sick!" he cheered afterward.
Sternheimer still put Kabrhel all-in for 85,000, and Kabrhel eventually called.
Martin Kabrhel: A♠Q♠8♥3♥ 
Philip Sternheimer: A♦10♥9♥8♦
"I can't believe it! He was totally bluffing!" Kabrhel shouted across the Horseshoe Event Center.
The board ran out with an inconsequential 7♥7♣, and Kabrhel doubled up with his ace-queen kicker.
Sternheimer was left with just 40,000, which he lost not much later to be eliminated.
