“Martin Kabrhel has more time banks than chips,” WSOP Live wrote as Kabrhel had just 22,000 under the gun. He began talking in an attempt to use as many time banks as possible, but after more than five minutes, a floor staff member warned him not to abuse the situation.
WSOP tournament director Andy Tillman stepped in to handle the situation as Luca Stevanato was more and more frustrated watching Kabrhel use all 18 of his time banks. Stevanato was told to stay calm as Kabrhel continued to take his extra time.
After more than ten minutes, Kabrhel eventually raised to 21,000, leaving himself just 1,000 behind. Stevanato then raised to 60,000 from the cutoff, and after using his final time bank card, Kabrhel made the call.
Martin Kabrhel: Q♣8♠ 
Luca Stevanato: 4♦4♣
Kabrhel flopped a pair on 8♣10♦5♦7♠J♣ to double up.
In the next hand, Kasperi Ilkka opened to 20,000 from under the gun. Kabrhel in the big blind raised to 68,000 and Ilkka called. He bet 25,000 on the Q♣3♠J♥ flop and Kabrhel check-called off his last 1,000.
Martin Kabrhel: A♠A♣
Kasperi Ilkka: A♦10♣
Kabrhel found aces at the right moment. The 8♥2♠ runout changed nothing and he doubled up again.
However his show came to an end moments later with 8♦8♥ against A♦10♦ on 7♦5♥A♣Q♦Q♠ and he was eliminated in 278th place for €10,000.
