2025 World Series of Poker
Action folded all the way around to the button, who was none other than Martin Kabrhel. "I am all in. Seventeen Million," he announced. In actual fact, it was just 14,000. Franklin Machado on his direct left reshoved, prompting the big blind to get out of the way. "I have casino," said Kabrhel, showing his higher card, "Royale," showing the other.
Martin Kabrhel: K♥Q♣
Franklin Machado: A♥K♦
Machado started celebrating, to which Kabrhel questioned, "Why are you happy? You have three outs after flop." Kabrhel's career in fortune telling was short-lived, as the J♥3♣K♠ flop kept him behind. The 3♠4♦ runout sent him home, as cheers and applause echoed through the Horseshoe Ballroom for their new hero Machado.
"Where's my bounty?" he asked, before letting everyone else know that he was "now the loudest in the room."
Casey Carroll was all in with a short stack and J♦J♠, up against two over cards that were instantly mucked when neither of them came on the 8♣6♠4♠6♥2♣ runout.
Fellow short stack David Blake in the four seat mentioned he had folded pocket deuces and Caroll replied "not like that.”
Leo Margets opened to 3,500 from middle position and was called by Joshua McSwiney in the cutoff. Pavle Pecelj then squeezed to 12,500 on the button, which got a fold from Margets and a call from McSwiney.
The flop came 4♣A♠Q♦ and McSwiney checked to Pecelj, who continued for 7,500. McSwiney quickly let his hand go and Pecelj collected the pot without showing.
In a pot with 21,500 in the middle on a board of 7♥3♣3♥5♣, Dathan Kuppin bet 13,000 from the small blind and Seun Oluwole called from the big blind.
A 4♦ landed on the river and Kuppin kept up the aggression with a bet of 28,000. Oluwole took just a few seconds before he called.
Kuppin confidently flipped over A♦3♦ for trips, but Oluwole revealed Q♣6♣ for a rivered straight to scoop the pot.
On the same table, Nathanial Hutton is up to around 350,000.
Isaac Rodgin raised to 3,500 from the hijack and in the big blind, Daniel Klodowski called.
The flop rolled out K♦7♦2♣ and Klodowski check-called a bet of 3,500 from Rodgin.
Klodowski checked the 2♥ turn over to Rodgin who bet 6,000 and Klodwoski called.
On the river 6♦, Rodgin bet 16,000 after Klodowski checked and Klodowski elected to fold after some thought.
Vera Dong raised to 3,000 in middle position and Raoul Kanme but his big stack to work with a three-bet to 9,500 in the small blind. Dong called and they went heads-up to a flop of 7♥6♥3♥.
Kanme led out with a bet of 9,000 and Dong just called to see the 10♥ on the turn. Kanme checked this time and Dong dropped in a bet of 12,000. Kanme released his cards and Dong flashed her A♥Q♥ for a flopped flush.
