Kobayashi Leaves Mokri on Fumes

David Salituro

Niveau 2 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Hirokazu Kobayashi raised to 2,500 in the hijack and Kayhan Mokri called on the button, as did big blind Dimitar Danchev.

The flop came K♠K♦6♠ and action checked to Mokri who bet 3,000. Only Kobayashi called and the turn was the K♥.

Mokri bet another 5,000 and Kobayashi raised to 10,000. Mokri called to see the J♠ river, where Kobayashi bet 25,000.

Mokri used a time bank as he considered the decision. "Ace-ace," he asked Kobayashi before flicking a chip over to him.

Kobayashi then showed 10♣10♠ and Mokri mucked, leaving himself with just 3,000.
