Clocking Martin Kabrhel

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Aaron Kupin

Zhijian Zhang called the clock on Martin Kabrhel twice in consecutive hands, as Kabrhel took an inordinate amount of time to make a decision on whether to make a call.

In the first hand, Kabrhel bet 200,000 on a full board of 3♦7♦3♣5♦Q♥. Aaron Kupin check-raised him to 460,000 chips.

After much haggling with the dealer over the exact count of Kupin's stack – the dealer tabulated the total in stacks of six instead of five – Kabrhel took a while pondering the call.

When Kabrhel heard someone call for the clock, he asked who did it.

After Zhang acknowledged it was him, Kabrhel said, "Congratulations. I will bust you for that."

After the floor started the countdown, Kabrhel let the hand go.

In the ensuing hand, Kabrhed was heads up with Chung Cheung in a small pot that had seen just a preflop raise to 35,000 by Kabrhel on the button, and a call from Cheung.

After a check-through on the turn, the board read J♣Q♠K♥8♣ and Cheung, who was in the big blind, bet 50,000.

Kabrhel stalled again, tanking long enough for Zhang to call the floor a second time.

Kabrhel folded again, turning over a jack, and then did his best to get Cheung to show his hand.

Cheung refused.

Kaufmann’s Jacks Hold

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

David Kaufmann opened from early position to 30,000 and faced a three-bet from Maher Achour in middle position, which he called.

Both players checked the 8♦Q♠5♦ flop.

Kaufmann checked again on the 6♠ turn, and Achour fired 130,000. Kaufmann made the call.

The 10♣ completed the board, and both players opted to check it down.

Kaufmann tabled J♥J♠, which was enough to scoop the pot as Achour’s hand went into the muck.

Phillips Cracks Teeuwen's Aces

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Nicholas Teeuwen shoved all-in for 400,000 and got called by button Thomas Phillips taking them to showdown.

Nicholas Teeuwen: A♦A♠ All in
Thomas Phillips: K♥K♣

Teeuwen was hoping for a double up with his aces but the flop dropped 6♣2♣K♦ giving Phillips a set and the lead. No help came on the 3♥6♥ runout, triggering Teeuwen to leave the tournament floor.

Shen Needs More Clarity

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Allen Shen
Allen Shen

Omar Del Pino in the small blind and Allen Shen in middle position had already built a pot of 250,000 when the flop dropped 7♥J♥2♣. Del Pino fired 140,000 and Shen called.

Del Pino continued his aggression with a 205,000 bet on the 4♣ turn.

On the river A♠, Del Pino put maximum pressure with a shove all-in for 750,000. A flutter of movement all of a sudden happened on Shen's side. He took off his sunglasses, and dug his eyeglasses from his bag, put it on then tanked.

He found clarity after a minute and made the call. Del Pino tabled K♣K♥. Somewhat shocked, Shen went, "You've got kings?" then stood up and turned his hand over to show, J♠10♠. He bid everyone good luck then left the table.
