Mokri and Kulev Win Three-Bet Pots

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 6,000 from under the gun and faced a three-bet to 18,000 from Kayhan Mokri on the button, which he called.

Mokri fired 21,000 chips more on the 4♦6♠7♣ flop, and a quick fold followed from O'Dwyer.

On an adjacent table, Atanas Malinov raised to 5,000 from the hijack and called the subsequent three-bet to 15,000 from Alex Kulev in the cutoff.

Malinov check-raised Kulev's 9,000-chip continuation-bet on the 9♣3♠5♥ flop to 26,000 and Kulev called. The A♠ turn was then checked by both players before Kulev won the pot by making a bet of 75,000 on the J♦ river, resulting in a quick check-fold from his opponent.
