Kayhan Mokri raised to 80,000 on the button and Ognyan Dimov moved all in for 485,000 in the big blind.
"I have no idea what to do. No f**king clue. Good thing I have 12 time banks," Mokri said as he burned through two of them.
"I'm trying to think of what the smart people will do. All that's going through my head right now is go get this guy," Mokri added. He eventually folded and Dimov showed him 7?7?.
"It was a tight fold," Mokri said after the hand.

Markkos Ladev raised to 65,000 on the button and Juan Pardo moved all in for around 300,000 in the big blind. Ladev quickly folded.
