In another blind-on-blind confrontation, Seth Davies and Kayhan Mokri checked to the turn on a board of K♥K♣K♠9♥. Davies then bet 5,000 and Mokri called.

The river was the 8♦ and Davies bet another 15,000. Mokri then raised to 42,000 and Davies quickly called.

Mokri showed K♦4♠ for flopped quads and Davies mucked. "Kayhan Mokri, what a f**king animal. What a life," Nacho Barbero, who had only just joined the table, said.

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

Kayhan Mokri raised to 2,500 in the hijack and Teun Mulder called on the button, as did big blind Nacho Barbero.

"Every time I raise, you're in there," Mokri said to Mulder as they saw the flop come 10♦9♦3♥.

"I like to play," Mulder replied. All three players checked to the A♣ turn where Mokri bet 6,000. Both opponents called.

The river was the 2♥ and Mokri bet another 45,000. Mulder quickly folded, but Barbero took his time before also folding as Mokri took down the pot.

Mikael Thuritz recently joined the field.
