Juan Pardo opened to 13,000 from the cutoff. Kayhan Mokri and Gregoire Auzoux called from the button and the big blind.

Action checked to Mokri on the J♦5♦3♦ flop and he bet 11,000. Only Pardo called.

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Laszlo Bujtas raised to 13,000 under the gun, then called when Yuto Suzuki moved all in on the button for 60,000.

Yuto Suzuki: A♠Q♥
Laszlo Bujtas: A♦A♣

Suzuki picked up a straight draw heading to the river on a board of J♦J♠5♠10♦, but he missed the 9♦ river and became the first casualty of the day.

Bujtas then pointed out that Mokri didn't use the money he won in their bet yesterday to buy a sweater like he promised. "That's all you talked about for six hours yesterday and you forgot. Give me the money back," Bujtas joked.

"I didn't even think about it. I might have saved 2K," Mokri replied.

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri raised to 13,000 under the gun before Ole Schemion three-bet to 36,000 next to act. Mokri then four-bet to 80,000, Schemion moved all in for 216,000, and Mokri snap-called.

Ole Schemion: A♠A♥
Kayhan Mokri: K♦K♠

"Welcome to the table," Mokri said upon seeing Schemion's aces. The flop came A♣8♥Q♣ and Schemion made top set, while Mokri was already drawing dead after the 3♠ turn. The river was the 10♥ and Schemion doubled up.

"You can't win today. You won all your pots yesterday," Schemion told Mokri after the hand.

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Vladimir Troyanovskiy opened to 13,000 from under the gun and was called by Motoyoshi Okamura from the big blind.

Okamura check-called for 15,000 on the K♠Q♣J♣ flop before the 5♦ turn checked through to the 3♣ river. Okamura led out for 50,000 and folded out Troyanovskiy.

The hand after, Okamura made it 13,000 from the small blind and now it was Troyanovskiy's turn to defend his big blind.

Okamura continued for 17,000 on the J♣9♦6♦ flop and called when Troyanovskiy made it 45,000. The 3♣ turn checked through to the 2♦ river. Okamura led out for 30,000 and was called.

Okamura had king-high with K♥7♣, while Troyanovskiy's 5♣2♣ meant he had the winner with just a pair of deuces.

On the first hand of the day, Laszlo Bujtas raised to 13,000 under the gun and Gregoire Auzoux called in the big blind.

The flop came 3♦A♥8♥ and Bujtas bet 10,000. Auzoux then raised to 40,000 and Bujtas called.

Both players checked down the 7♦ turn and 8♠ river as Auzoux showed K♥Q♥ for a missed flush draw and Bujtas turned over J♣J♥ to win the pot.

"You think he's just a PLO player but he's actually both. He plays tricks with people's heads like he doesn't know what he's doing," Kayhan Mokri said.
