Mokri Gets Paid
Level 18
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Tommy Nguyen opened to 200,000 in the cutoff, and Dennys Ramos made the call on the button. Kayhan Mokri came along in the big blind, and action checked around on the 8♣K♦J♥ flop.
Mokri led out for 180,000 on the 2♠ turn, with only Nguyen sticking around. Another lead from Mokri followed the 7♣ river, sliding out 485,000 while leaving a single yellow 1,000 chip behind.
After taking a moment, Nguyen stuck in the call. Mokri tabled K♥8♥ for two pair, earning more than a double as Nguyen mucked.
