Poker&#039;s villain and fan favorite, Martin Kabrhel, was eliminated early in the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $25,000 High Roller 6-Max No-Limit Hold&#039;em event, playing only one hand and earning himself a &quot;free afternoon&quot;.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\" style=\"color: #000000;\">On the second day of the $25,000 buy-in event, dozens of players registered late, including Kabrhel.
