David Salituro

Level 6 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri raised to 7,000 in the cutoff and Zhewen Hu called on the button. Daniel Rezaei then three-bet to 35,000 in the small blind and only Mokri called.

"Never fold," Alexander Zubov said to Mokri.

"Why would he? He's winning every pot," Rezaei replied. The flop came A♥Q♦7♠ and Rezaei bet 22,000. Mokri called to the 6♣ turn, where Rezaei bet another 135,000. Mokri quickly folded this time and Rezaei gave a big fist pump as he took the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri raised to 5,500 in the cutoff and both Daniel Rezaei and Alexander Zubov called in the blinds.

"We finally got him to stop three-betting," Mokri said about Rezaei as they saw a flop of 9♦5♣3♦. Mokri then bet 10,000 and both opponents called.

The turn was the Q♦ and Mokri bet 16,500. Rezaei and Zubov folded this time and Mokri took the pot.

The next hand, Mokri opened to 7,000 in the hijack and Ognyan Dimov called in the big blind.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of 8♣5♥6♦3♣ where Dimov led out for 5,500. Mokri then raised to 20,000 and Dimov called.

The river was the J♦ and Mokri bet 100,000, enough to put Dimov all in. Dimov had around 65,000 remaining and quickly folded.

"I haven't bluffed you once today," Mokri told Dimov as he took in the pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Daniel Rezaei raised to 5,500 from the hijack and called when Adrian Mateos three-bet to 16,000 from the cutoff.

On the Q♠Q♥3♣ flop, Rezaei check-raised to 20,000 over a bet of 8,000. Mateos called.

Rezaei fired out another 25,000 on the 2♥ turn. Mateos quickly called once more.

The A♣ completed the board and Rezaei put Mateos all in for the Spaniard's last 76,000. Mateos snap-called, but saw the bad news as Rezaei had turned a boat with his 2♣2♦. Mateos tabled his no good QxJx and exited the tournament room.
