Martin Kabrhel and John Esposito Make Friends

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Martin Kabrhel loves to talk incessantly at the poker table. Some people love it, others hate it.

John Esposito has just joined the table and for the moment he is the subject of Kabrhel’s attention and Esposito is currently giving as good as he gets.

It looks as if neither knows who the other player is or their reputations although they seem to be determined to get into pots with each other while the talk flows between hands. They have similar stacks so this could be an interesting battle.
