Andersson Takes Out Mokri
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Kayhan Mokri was down to just 7,500 and moved all in from the small blind as Joakim Andersson called under the gun.

Joakim Andersson: J♦10♦
"You raised under the gun? Very loose," Mokri joked with Andersson as they saw a flop of 10♣9♣7♠, giving Andersson top pair. The 8♠ turn improved Andersson to a straight and left Mokri drawing dead heading to the A♣ river and heading off to the exit.
Niklas Astedt and Juan Pardo joined the field on the break.
