Schumacher Shines While Kabrhel Causes Chaos

Nível 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The player in the small blind went all in and there was a long pause while Martin Kabrhel contemplated his next move.

Eventually the floor was called by Adam Freidman and the clock was put on Kahbrel while some other notable players from nearby tables who tried to reason with him over perceived excessive tanking.

Kabrhel, who has already caused plenty of controversy during the 2023 WSOP, finally called, as did Johan Schumacher, with considerably less fuss.

The flop fell K♥J♣3♥. Schumacher bet 5,000 and with the floor standing over him Kabrhel made the call in quick time.

The turn was the 10♦ and was checked by both players.

When Schumacher bet the 6♦ river, Kabrhel announced, "Sorry guys but you'll have me around for at least one more hand" and tossed his cards in the muck.

Small Blind: A♣K♣
Johan Schumacher: A♠A♥

Schumacher won the pot, sending the small blind to the rail. A few minutes later, cheers could be heard from the table and Kabrhel was seen leaving the card room.

"There's No Remorse": Poker Community Unsatisfied As Imsirovic Breaks Silence

KaleGozer

Nível 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Many were shocked this week when Ali Imsirovic broke his silence this week more than a year after being accused of cheating by other high-stakes poker pros.

But few were satisfied with the answers provided by the 2021 GPI Player of the Year, who admitted to multi-accounting for several months in 2020, and again in 2022, while dismissing other allegations as "ridiculous," including that he's used real-time assistance (RTA) and recently been running an online cheating ring.

The poker community's reactions to Imsirovic's video make up the latest edition of The Muck.

Cummins Wins Back to Back All-ins

Nível 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Keith Cummins went all in from the button and was called by the big blind, who just covered him.

Keith Cummins: Q♠10♣
Big Blind: A♣7♦

It was looking bleak for cummins on a flop of 6♥5♦A♠ but a Q♥ on the turn gave him some hope, and a 10♥ on the river won him the pot.

Moments later, in the very next hand, he was all in again preflop, and at risk facing two opponents.

Keith Cummins: A♥K♣
Button: J♠J♦
Middle Position: 10♠10♦

The flop fell 8♣9♥A♣ shooting Cummins into the lead, and the turn and river bricked out leaving his stack looking a lot healthier than it had done just two hands previously.

OllieGarland

Nível 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Jaspal Brar raised from the hijack to 2,400. Mike Watson in the big blind defended.

Watson tabled K♦8♠ for top pair, extracting value on the four-to-a-flush board.

Watson found himself all in and at risk the very next hand against Brar, with all the money in preflop.

Mike Watson: A♣Q♥
Jaspal Brar: Q♦Q♠

The board ran out 6♦K♦4♥K♣K♠ sending Watson to the rail.
