Mokri Picks Off a Big Bluff
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Kayhan Mokri reentered soon after busting his first bullet.
"Pocket tens, huh," he said to Hirokazu Kobayashi as he retook his seat.
"Well, what did you have," Niklas Astedt asked him.
"A good calling hand. Pocket nines," Mokri replied.
Mokri then raised to 3,500 in the cutoff and Tsugunari Toma called on the button. Both players checked the K?4?3? flop.
The turn was the 8? and Mokri bet 7,500. Toma called and the 10? fell on the river. Mokri then bet another 22,500.
Toma came back with a raise to 50,000. "Here, Santa Claus," Mokri said as he flung his chips into the middle. Toma showed J?9? and Mokri turned over K?9? to win the pot.
