Mokri Makes a Big Call
Kayhan Mokri opened to 17,000 from the cutoff and called when Paulius Plausinaitis three-bet to 50,000 from the big blind.
Plausinaitis continued for 30,000 on the K♠9♦3♦ flop and was called. Plausinaitis then check-called for 36,000 on the 6♦ turn.
The K♦ completed the board, and Plausinaitis jammed for 142,000. He covered Mokri by just 5,000.
Mokri went into the tank and used up a time bank card.
"I think you have aces, no diamond," said Mokri before another three time banks went to the dealer.
"I really dislike this. It's a very good play," he continued. "Now I'm starting to think you have it," Mokri added.
After another timebank, Mokri called for his tournament life.
Plausinaitis had turned his A♣6♠ into a bluff and was left on fumes after Mokri tabled his K♣Q♠ for trips.
