Kabrhel Shows the Nut-Low

Level 9 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

Martin Kabrhel bet 31,000 from the big blind on a board of {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Igor Kurganov had raised to 100,000 and Kabrhel was in the tank when we arrived. He moved his chips around and thought for a couple of minutes before Kurganov called a clock. The supervisor asked if it had been a reasonable time.

"Yes," Dominik Nitsche immediately piped in without looking up from his phone.

A few seconds later, Kabrhel called. They both checked the {8-Spades} and Kabrhel opened {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a missed draw. Kurganov showed {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}.
