Mokrani Runs into the Goods

Tyler Foran

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Mohamed Mokrani opened in the cutoff and Espen Nikolaisen three-bet to 11,000 next to act. The action folded back around to Mokrani, who took some time before four-bet jamming for about 50,000. Nikolaisen snap-called and both hands were tossed face up.

Mohamad Mokrani: A♣4♥
Espen Nikolaisen: A♥A♠

It was rough timing for Mokrani as he ran into the strongest hand in the deck. The dealer ran out the A♦9♣8♠10♦5♣ board, giving Nikolaisen a set of aces to eliminate Mokrani.

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Three players brewed a pot of about 38,000 on the J♦9♥8♠10♦ turn, and both Ricardo Graells and Alexander van der Swaluw checked to Salvino Belhoul as he fired a bet of 8,500. Graells thought about it for about 15 seconds before making the call, and van der Swaluw instantly folded.

The 8♦ completed the board on the river, and both players tapped the table. Graells rolled over A♦Q♦, which was a straight to the queen on the turn, improving to a flush. Belhoul showed his Q♣ in disgust as he tossed his other card face down toward the dealer.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Radoslaw Kopec was seen all-in for his last 6,000 against Lander Lijo, and both hands were on their backs.

Radoslaw Kopec: 7♦7♣
Lander Lijo: A♦10♣

It was a classic race as the flop came 9♦3♣2♣, for Kopec's sevens to still be in the lead. The Q♥ hit the turn, changing nothing, but the A♣ river sent Kopec packing.

Kopec was left short and busted, as did Lexy Gavin-Mather and Kyriakos Papadopoulos one table over.
