Fryda Hits the River on Mokrani
Victor Fryda raised to 25,000 in early position before Mohamed Mokrani three-bet to 80,000 on the button. Fryda called and they saw a flop of 2?Q?9?.
Both players checked and the turn was the Q?. Fryda then led out for 105,000 and Mokrani came back with a raise to 250,000.
Fryda spent nearly two minutes in the tank before calling as the J? fell on the river. He checked over to Mokrani, who slowed down and checked back.
Fryda turned over J?10? for two pair and Mokrani shook his head and mucked.
At the same time at another table, Candido Cappiello and Feng Qu were on the river of a ten-high board when Cappiello moved all in. Qu snap-called for his last 188,000 with a pair of fours holding K?4? while Cappiello was forced to show queen-high.
"Guy's got heart," tablemate Georges Hanna said.
