Vaskaboinikau Shows Queens; Mokri, Lococo Already Making Heads-Up Plans
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 16,000 from the hijack and Patrik Antonius called in the cutoff.
The flop came 7♥J♥2♠ and Vaskaboinikau led out for 15,000. Antonius called to the 2♦ turn, where he called another bet of 32,000.
Vaskaboinikau checked the J♠ river and Antonius checked behind. Vaskaboinikau showed Q♦Q♥ and Antonius mucked, claiming he had two nines.
Alejandro Lococo is sporting a pink bucket hat at the table today, and Kayhan Mokri told him he has one just like that.
"If we get heads-up I'll go get it," Mokri told him.
"There's seven other players at the table and these two are already making plans for when they go heads-up. What they're going to wear, where it's going to be," Sam Grafton added. Mokri and Grafton then agreed to take shots together if they reach heads-up.
"I must warn you. I play better drunk," Mokri said.
