Mokri and Nadeem Chop a Big One
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Kayhan Mokri opened 4,500 and was called by Majid Nadeem in the hijack and Jorge Cantos in the cutoff.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♠9♣3♣, and the action checked to Cantos who fired a bet of 6,500. Both Mokri and Cantos made the call.
When the A♥ fell on the turn, Mokri checked but Nadeem took the lead, putting 14,500 across the line. Cantos folded and Mokri check-raised to 74,000. Nadeem tank-called.
The 3♦ paired the board on the river, and Mokri announced all-in. Nadeem hesitated for a few seconds before splashing in a few chips to call off his stack of about 70,000. Mokri tabled A♠9♥ making aces and nines, and Nadeem showed the same hand with A♦9♦ to chop the pot.
