Kabrhel Folds to Zerjav’s Bluff
The pot had grown to around 380,000 by the river, with the board showing 9♠5♥A♣A♦2♥. Martin Kabrhel, in the big blind, checked to Blaz Zerjav in the hijack, who fired 330,000, leaving himself just 30,000 behind.
Kabrhel checked his cards and took his time, filling the moment with small talk with the rail and the table until one player eventually called the clock. The floor gave him 30 seconds to make his decision.
“Hippo smells bluff, but I can’t always trust him. He wanted to kick me out of this tournament,” Kabrhel said, referring to his card protector.
When the clock ran out, the pot was pushed to Zerjav.
“Show your hand,” Kabrhel demanded.
“Show yours first,” Zerjav replied.
Kabrhel tabled Q♥10♣.
“Why are you wasting everybody’s time?” Zerjav asked before tabling Q♠10♥.
“I had a queen,” Zerjav said, revealing the exact same hand and drawing laughter from the table.
