Thorel's Two Pair Catches Mokri
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
In a limped pot blind versus blind, the flop read K♠8♣3♣. Jean-Noel Thorel check-called a bet of 25,000 from Kayhan Mokri.
When the A♣ hit the turn, Thorel check-called once again, this time the bet was 100,000.
The 5♦ completed the board, and Thorel checked to Mokri for a final time. Mokri grabbed a stack of greens and dropped them across the line for a bet of 500,000. Thorel wasted no time dropping a stack of his own to make the call.
Mokri tabled 6♠2♣ before Thorel showed A♠8♠ for two pair.
"Hard to make two pair fold," Said Mokri.
