Kabrhel Left with Dust

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

From early position Martin Kabrhel raised to 22,000, leaving himself his standard 1,000 chip behind. Evan Sandberg called from middle position as did Fabrizio Gonzalez in the big blind.

The flop came J6J, and Kabrhel was first to act but went into the tank. The floor were called, and Kabrhel was put on a five-second clock for every action on the hand. He timed out on the flop and checked. Sandberg and Gonzalez checked behind.

The turn brought the 8 and all three players checked(Kabrhel after timing out) and it was rinse and repeat on the 6river.

Gonzalez tabled A9 for ace high, and he was pushed the pot, leaving Kabrhel with less than a bowl of rice.

Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu will not defend his $50,000 Poker Players Championship crown after being knocked out of the event by none other than Phil Hellmuth.

Negreanu, who ended a decade-long bracelet drought when he won last year's event for $1,178,703, would see his tournament end on Day 3 this year, after the seventeen-time bracelet winner Hellmuth made a Queen-high flush to send Kid Poker to the rail.

"Not Like That"

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

Action was folded to Martin Kabrhel, who raised to 20,000 from middle position, leaving himself just 1,000 behind. Michael Leib three-bet from the big blind to 40,000.

"How much is it?" asked Kabrhel before waiting out his time and pushing out his final 1,000-chip.

Martin Kabrhel: K3All in
Michael Leib: KQ

"Don't write it down, please," requested Kabrhel as PokerNews was noting the hand as the flop came 6J3. "Now you can write it down," squawked Kabrhel, "I have a flush".

The J on the turn didn't help Leib, and the 2 on the river indeed made Kabrhel his flush, and he was pushed the pot for a double up.
