: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Martin Kabrhel, who took down the $1,000 Mini Main Event just a couple hours ago, wasted little time before entering the Main Event and putting his chips to work.
In a recent hand, Mohammad Iqbal limped from middle position and Martin Kabrhel raised to 1,600 on the button.
"Please don't fold. I'm begging you not to fold!" Kabrhel pleaded after it was folded back to Iqbal, who complied and called.
Both players checked on the 7♠4♠8♦ flop and Iqbal checked again on the 3♣ turn. Kabrhel bet a bit over 6,000 and Iqbal quickly let his hand go.
"Very tough table," Kabrhel said as he collected the pot.
