Omirou Catches Mokrani Speeding

Ryan Lashmar

Level 11 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A player from the hijack opened to 25,000 and received calls from Mohamed Mokrani on the button and Savvas Omirou in the big blind.

All three players checked the K?K?2? flop leading to the 9? turn. Action checked around to Mokrani who bet 50,000. Omirou put in a check-raise to 135,000 and the original raiser folded. Mokrani shoved, covering Omirou who had a bit more than 300,000 biehind. Omirou snap-called and was at risk.

Mokrani had made a move at the wrong time with a flush draw and was drawing dead to Omirou who had already made a higher flush than Mokrani was drawing to. The 4? river changed nothing and Omirou secured a full double up at Mokrani's expense.
