It's the stone bubble of the $250,000 Super High Roller – the largest buy-in at the 2025 World Series of Poker. Martin Kabrhel is at his best (or worst, depending on who you ask) with an unending stream of consciousness verbal onslaught. While he doesn't have a substantial stack of chirping chips to justify his table talk, he doesn't care. It just keeps coming.
Is there anyone that can put an end to this? Yes – his name is David Peters.
'One of the coolest hands I've ever seen'
It should come as no surprise to anyone paying attention to the goings on in Las Vegas that the hand between Peters and Kabrhel has been selected as the latest WSOP Hand of the Week.
With the blinds at 100K/200K/200K and one elimination separating the remaining players from a $516,393 score, Kabrhel kicked off the action with a raise from under-the-gun with off of a stack of 8.4M.
Daniel Negreanu called from the cutoff with and 6.7M in his stack. Peters, in the big blind, defended with
as the covering stack of 8.9M.
Somehow, the dealer spread the flop – providing both Negreanu and Peters with top pair, top kicker and Kabrhel with three-of-a-kind.
"Is it me?" Kabrhel asked the dealer. "Can I look at my cards?"
After checking his cards, Kabrhel opted for a minimum bet of 200K. Negreanu made the call, but Peters chose to check-raise his top pair to 750K. With every reason to pile more chips into the middle, Kabrhel announced a three-bet to 1.425M – saving Negreanu from any further loss. Peters wasn't ready to relinquish his holding, however, and made the call to bring in the on the turn. Kabrhel tapped the brakes on the turn with a check back and the dealer rolled over the
river card.
After some thought, Peters checked to Kabrhel once again and was faced with a 2M bet. While most players would opt for the conservative route of a call, Peters rose above the rim and moved all-in for Kabrhel's remaining 4.6M chips – using his blocker to leverage the high-pressure situation of the money bubble.
With a crowd of spectators watching on, Kabrhel looked uneasy about the spot. After confirming the bet sizing with the dealer, he went into the tank and took about thirty seconds to consider his decision. Eventually, he returned his cards to the dealer and Peters hauled in the pot.
The eventual winner of the event, Seth Davies, addressed the hand in an exclusive interview with PokerOrg.
"That was an incredible hand," Davies told us. "There were 200 people on the rail watching him. As soon as he announced all-in they were like ‘Ohhhh!!!’ It was like it was straight out of a movie. It was one of the coolest hands I’ve ever seen happen."
