The flop was spread, granting both Negreanu and Peters top pair, top kicker, while Kabrhel landed three-of-a-kind. "Is it me?" Kabrhel asked the dealer. "Can I look at my cards?" After confirming his hand, Kabrhel opted for a minimal bet of 200K. Negreanu made the call, but Peters wasn't done yet. He check-raised his top pair to 750K, prompting Kabrhel to three-bet to 1.425M, saving Negreanu from further losses.
The turn rolled in, and Kabrhel tapped the brakes with a check back. The river card hit, and Peters checked to Kabrhel once more, faced with a 2M bet. Breaking from the usual conservative 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 spectators circling, Kabrhel looked uncertain about the moment. After confirming the bet sizing, he took his time, considering his decision for about thirty seconds before folding, handing the pot to Peters.
