Mokri Takes it Down on the River

Tim Baker

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri raised the button and Pieter Aerts defended his big blind.

Aerts checked the A♥9♥5♥ flop. Mokri put out a bet of 4,000. Aerts check-raised to 20,000, and Mokri continued in the form of a call.

A 7♦ fell on the turn, and Aerts bet 47,000. Mokri thought for a few moments, then slid in the call to see a river.

The Q♦ river caused Aerts to slow down and check. Mokri threw out a bet of 125,000, and Aerts quickly folded.
