Mokri Shoves the River

Matt Hansen

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was heads up with a growing pot in the middle and on the board when Brock Wilson check-called a bet of 190,000 from Kayhan Mokri.

The river was and Wilson checked again before he went into the tank when Mokri shoved with more. Wilson used some of his extra time before he ultimately got away from it.

"Show the bluff," Ren Lin said.

"It's for sure a bluff, but I'm not going to show," Mokri said as he mucked face down.

"Or maybe I had it. Maybe I'm a big liar."
