Hirokazu Kobayashi raised to 4,000 on the button and Kayhan Mokri called in the big blind.

The flop came 4K3 and Kobayashi continued for 4,000. Mokri called and the 7 fell on the turn.

Kobayashi bet another 10,500 and Mokri raised to 40,000. Kobayashi called to see the 10 river.

Mokri then moved all in, having Kobayashi's remaining 100,000 covered. Kobayashi used a time bank before folding.

"Did you bluff me," Kobayashi asked.

"I would never bluff you. Would never even cross my mind," Mokri replied.

Dimov Runs Into Queens

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ognyan Dimov
Ognyan Dimov

Hirokazu Kobayashi raised to 4,500 under the gun before Ole Schemion three-bet to 13,000 in early position. Ognyan Dimov then moved all in for 60,500 in the hijack and Kobayashi gave it some thought before folding. Schemion, though, snap-called.

Ognyan Dimov: JJ
Ole Schemion: QQ

The board ran out 961010Q and Schemion rivered a full house to send Dimov to the rail. Kobayashi admitted he folded pocket nines and would've hit a set on the flop.

"I was going with it," Schemion said.
