Carrel Jams and Scoops Blinds

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Charlie Carrel moved all in first to act and the action folded to Martin Kabrhel in the small blind. He asked for a count and Carrel's stack was counted to be at 5.75 million. Kabrhel had less than that and tried to engage in some table talk. "Do you want to gamble Charlie?" he asked before tournament staff reminded him that he cannot talk about the hand while a third player, in this case Dominik Nitsche in the big blind, is still in the hand.

Kabrhel eventually folded, as did Nitsche. "I had big suited cards, I am wondering why I didn't call," Kabrhel added and Carrel replied "Yeah, I am wondering that, too."
