Antonius Puts Mokri to the Test
Level 6
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Patrik Antonius opened 7,000 in the cutoff and Kayhan Mokri defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♣9♥6♠, and Mokri check-called a bet of 6,000.
The K♦ turn received checks from both players and the 10♦ landed on the river.
Mokri led out for 43,000, and Antonius paused while asking, "can I see your chips?"
Mokri obliged quickly, showing he had about 75,000 behind. Antonius then put in a raise to 150,000 and Mokri tank-folded.
