Munoz Calls Kabrhel's Bluff
Martin Kabrhel opened the action with a raise from middle position, and Ramon Munoz responded with a three-bet to 85,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Kabrhel, who eventually called with a grin and a comment: “I call, imagining I bubble now.”
The flop came 10♦Q♠6♥, and Kabrhel checked. Munoz continued for 60,000, prompting a long tank from Kabrhel before he made the call.
The K♣ turn was checked by both players, but not before Kabrhel asked, “Do you like the king?”, repeating the question more than once.
When the 10♥ river landed, Kabrhel didn’t look at the board. Instead, he locked eyes with Munoz and asked, “Is it a blank? If it’s a blank, I win.”
Munoz smiled slightly and nodded. After finally glancing at the card, Kabrhel quipped, “Big blank, heh?” and began counting his stack.
He then placed a few stacks of chips in the middle and announced after a bet of 170,000, with confidence. However, after a quick recount, he corrected himself, “Sorry, just 168,000.” Munoz took a moment, then tossed in the call.
Kabrhel revealed 9♠7♠ for a nine-high bluff. Munoz tabled A♥K♠ for a pair of kings, enough to drag the pot and leave Kabrhel with just a handful of chips. That hand took so long to play out that the entire table missed an entire blind level.
