“Even chop, last chance,” Martin Kabrhel offered to Josh Reichard. Kabrhel was down to less than two barrels of 5K chips, so our reigning Poker Showdown Champ was uninterested.

Kabrhel opened to 145,000 from his button, Reichard announced all-in, and Kabrhel called at risk for 180,000 total.

Reichard was in great shape with the tens and needed to dodge the over card or some magic on the board. It ran and Reichard never had a sweat to complete his comeback.

He earned $288,400 for his win while Kabrhel took home $197,000.
