What a show the high rollers gave the poker world this week at the World Series of Poker. The $250,000 buy-in Super High Roller event turned out to be an entertaining and compelling display of poker prowess and showmanship — and 10s of thousands tuned in on PokerGO’s YouTube channel to watch Seth Davies win his first bracelet.

Starpower and Martin Kabrel’s incessant table talk made it the summer’s first real “must see” poker TV, and the all-star collection of players delivered.

Love him or hate him, Kabrel, as usual, sucked all the attention out of the air like some sort of coffee-housing supervillain with a black-belt in annoyance.

The guy simply can’t sit still or stop moving his lips, whether he’s in a hand or not, and he doesn’t discriminate. Phil Ivey, Jason Koon, David Peters, Bryn Kenney, Alex Foxen, Daniel Negreanu and all the other super high rollers were forced to deal with his barrage of baby-ness.

Newly nominated for the Poker Hall of Fame Nick Schulman was a frequent target of Kabrel’s needling, and he handled it like the pro he is until he slipped and called the Czech Republican motor-mouth a p*ssy, which Kabrel seemingly missed.

Kabrel made the final table of this event for the third time. His incessant commentary got himself in trouble in a hand on the money bubble against David Peters. Kabrel kept reminding the table that they need to be aware of the bubble, which gave Peters a psychological leg-up that he used to pull off a huge bluff that pushed Kabrel off a monster. The hand starts about 19 minutes in here.

The event brought in 63 entries who built a prize pool of $15,584,625. The top 10 were paid a minimum $516,393 with the top five cashing seven-figures.

The heads-up match had the ingredients for a marathon battle. Both Davies and Foxen were sitting pretty with 50-plus blinds, and the two players have plenty of experience playing one-on-one for ridiculous amounts of money. This time, they were playing for the $1.7 million difference between first and second place.

The match lasted two hands.

In the very first hand, Foxen, with a slight lead, raised a few blinds with AQ. Davies took less than 10 seconds before shoving all his chips into the middle with AJ, which Foxen snap-called. Foxen was in great shape to win his second WSOP bracelet, but a jack on the flop changed everything for the two men.

The very next hand, Davies found AA, which held up against Foxen’s K5, and just like that, the event screeched to a halt and it was over.

“It’s kind of fantasy-land stuff, you know? You only get so many high stake WSOP tournaments every year. You only get three or four shots at it every year. It’s something I wanted for a long time and to come through in the biggest one, it’s insane,” he told PokerGO afterwards.

Davies is one of the hottest players currently working on the super high roller trail. The $4.75 million in this one beats his second-highest cash of $4.1 million, which he got by finishing second in the $212,000 buy-in event at Triton Poker Super High Roller Series in Montenegro just 30 days ago.

His lifetime tournament winnings currently sit at $44 million. Talk about fantasyland.
