Defending Champ Kisacikoglu Survives All-In
Orpen Kisacikoglu kicked off the action with a raise to 130,000 from early position. The action then folded to Martin Kabrhel in the small blind, who announced his all-in, covering both of the players who were still left to act.
Kisacikoglu made a swift call for his 1,185,000 chips and the cards went on their backs.
Orpen Kisacikoglu: 9♦9♣
Martin Kabrhel: 7♠7♣
The 3♣4♦5♣A♠ brought some opportunities to chop for Kabrhel, next to his straight and set outs. However, the J♠ river failed to give him the best hand, and Kisacikoglu double up to still have a shot of defending his title.
