Mokrani Survives on the River
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Mohamed Mokrani got his last 350,000 in the middle from the small blind as Nerses Sargsian put him at risk in the big blind.
Mohamed Mokrani: A♥J♠ 
Nerses Sargsian: 9♦9♥
The Q♥6♦Q♠ flop kept Sargsian in the lead, while the 7♠ turn also failed to improve Mokrani. The river, though, came the J♥ and Mokrani hit two pair as the Merit Poker Western Series champion doubled up.
