Mokri Makes a Big Call

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Kayhan Mokri
Kayhan Mokri

Kayhan Mokri opened to 17,000 from the cutoff and called when Paulius Plausinaitis three-bet to 50,000 from the big blind.

Plausinaitis continued for 30,000 on the K93 flop and was called. Plausinaitis then check-called for 36,000 on the 6 turn.

The K completed the board, and Plausinaitis jammed for 142,000. He covered Mokri by just 5,000.

Mokri went into the tank and used up a time bank card.

"I think you have aces, no diamond," said Mokri before another three time banks went to the dealer.

"I really dislike this. It's a very good play," he continued. "Now I'm starting to think you have it," Mokri added.

After another timebank, Mokri called for his tournament life.

Plausinaitis had turned his A6 into a bluff and was left on fumes after Mokri tabled his KQ for trips.

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Nozomu Shimizu raised to 16,000 in the cutoff and was called by Hirokazu Kobayashi on the button and big blind Kayhan Mokri.

"You win," Mokri said, turning over 72. Kobayashi had 87 for a flush to win the pot.

"Nut low. Nice try, though," Ole Schemion said.

"Valiant try. Momma didn't raise no pussy," Mokri replied.
