Kabrhel Needles Chidwick Following Elimination
Martin Kabrhel opened to 40,000 from the cutoff before Stephen Chidwick raised to 500,000, leaving 75,000 behind. Alex Foxen was in the small blind and moved all in for 520,000. Kabrhel though it over before folding. Chidwick then put in the rest of his stack.
Alex Foxen: A?J?
Stephen Chidwick: Q?10?
"Both bluffers," said Kabrhel as the cards were turned over, who revealed he had folded pocket eights.
Both players paired up on the J?10?6? flop, with Foxen remaining ahead. The 3? turn and 8? river confirmed the double up for Foxen, which Kabrhel appeared displeased about.
"He saved you," said Kabrhel to Foxen. "Say thank you to him."
The words kept coming from Kabrhel, who then directed his speech to Chidwick.
"This guy puts in half a million with queen-high. This is the only way I can lose this pot."
The following hand, Kabrhel opened to 55,000 and Chidwick put in his last 55,000 as well. Foxen then made it 185,000 and Kabrhel got out of the way once more.
"Complete banana players," added Kabrhel, who has been animated since cards went in the air.
Stephen Chidwick: J?10?
Alex Foxen: A?J?
Foxen took the rest of Chidwick's chips after the 8?4?3?J?7? runout.
"Not your tournament," Kabrhel aimed at Chidwick. "I wouldn't even rebuy."
Nonetheless, Chidwick did opt to reenter, alongside Fahrredin Mustafov
