Omirou Catches Mokrani Speeding
Level 11
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A player from the hijack opened to 25,000 and received calls from Mohamed Mokrani on the button and Savvas Omirou in the big blind.
All three players checked the K♠K♣2♣ flop leading to the 9♣ turn. Action checked around to Mokrani who bet 50,000. Omirou put in a check-raise to 135,000 and the original raiser folded. Mokrani shoved, covering Omirou who had a bit more than 300,000 biehind. Omirou snap-called and was at risk.
Mokrani had made a move at the wrong time with a flush draw and was drawing dead to Omirou who had already made a higher flush than Mokrani was drawing to. The 4♥ river changed nothing and Omirou secured a full double up at Mokrani's expense.
