Three-Way All In Boosts Blasko

Level 9 : 0/0, 1,200 ante

"All-in, six million" said Martin Kabrhel first to act.

"All-in, twelve million," said Marek Blasko in the next position. It folded to Shawn Stroke last to act who also moved all in.

Martin Kabrhel: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Marek Blasko: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Shawn Stroke: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Stroke covered both players but the board ran out {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Hearts} giving both Blasko and Kabrhel a straight.

"Come on!" shouted Stroke in apparent frustration. "What the f*ck. F*cking trash."

"I play against him," Blasko said to Stroke, pointing at Kabrhel. "He shoves with trash."

"I know" replied Stroke. "I want that. But it sucks I lose to that."

Kabrhel "Plays It Perfectly" but Busts

Level 9 : 0/0, 1,200 ante

The turn was out between Martin Kabrhel and Nicolas Bokowski {8-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

"I played this hand perfectly," said Kabrhel. "He will bet, I will raise him and he will fold."

Bokowski then threw a spanner in the works by moving all in, covering Kabrhel.

"It is a bluff? Yes or no." said Kabrhel. "I can have all the pairs. You are bluffing me, yes?"

Eventually, Kabrhel called.

"Straight," said Bokowski tabling {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a ten-high straight.

"Can I slow-roll you," said Kabrhel, tabling the {9-Diamonds} before slowing revealing the {a-Spades} behind it.
