"Tough Day" for Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel limped in from the small blind and Dominik Nitsche checked his option from the big blind. The flop came and Kabrhel led out for 800,000. Nitsche called and the paired the board on the turn.
Kabrhel bet another 1.1 million and Nitsche continued to call. The river was the and Kabrhel made a huge overbet of 4.9 million. Nitsche sat in thought for a couple moments before announcing all in. Kabrhel only had around 6.2 million remaining and his tournament life would be at risk should he make the call.
After numerous attempts trying to get Nitsche to speak, Kabrhel finally said some words in German and Nitsche chuckled a bit. "I want to call but the hippo says to fold," Kabrhel said referring to his lucky hippo on top of his chips. He finally elected to fold saying, "Give him the money. This is a tough day for me!"
