WSOP 2026 - Can you be quiet?
A verbal fight between Kabrhel and Zamani on 15 June, 2026

Another day at the WSOP 2026, another situation involving Martin Kabrhel. Soon, this probably won’t make the news, as this series is not about Moments of Kabrhel at the WSOP.

We’ve already seen Martin Kabrhel  make a fuss over RFID card identification and have a mild confrontation with Daniel Negreanu, but this time, frustration and tension skyrocketed. The scene happened at the final three tables of the $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty event , and Kabrhel was not the only one to lose his temper.

Shouting “Can you be quiet?”

Can you imagine something more counterproductive than two people shouting at each other, “Can you be quiet”? If there were no cameras and press presence everywhere at the event, it might have sounded more like “shut the f*** up!”, but they know better. We are talking about two professional poker players who are fully aware that they would face a penalty for foul language, and at that stage of the tournament, it could cost them even their tournament lives.

For the record, Kabrhel is the Top 1 CZ poker player in terms of money won at tournaments (over $19,3M), and Martin Zamani also has an impressive list of results from all over the world with total live earnings of $7,8M. We are not watching recreational players who got their once-in-a-lifetime chance struggling their way up in online satellites through multi-thousand fields. They are elite players, regulars on all the big events around the world.

Sometimes table-talk and banter is just part of the show, but in this case, it was about pushing each other to the limit – either way, what would be the fun in watching 8 players at a table playing the most interesting game ever in complete silence?
