Small Ball Prevails
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Eduard Barsegyan raised to 5,500 from early position and was called by Seyed Dezfooli on the button and Kayhan Mokri in the big blind.
Action checked to Dezfooli on the 7♥Q♦A♠ flop and he bet 5,000. Mokri quickly folded, but Barsegyan called to the 5♣ turn. Dezfooli then bet another 10,000 and Barsegyan mucked.
The next hand, Mokri limped in, then called when Felipe Ketzer raised to 8,000. Both players checked to the river on a board of Q♣7♠4♠J♠3♠ when Mokri led out for 6,000.
Ketzer burned a time bank card before he called. Mokri then turned over 7♣3♣ for two pair.
"No bluffing Brazilians," he said as he raked in the pot.
