Mokri Runs into Rockets
Level 13
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Leon Sturm opened to 32,000 from the hijack and Kayhan Mokri defended from the big blind.
The flop came J?2?5?. Mokri checked, Sturm bet 16,000 and Mokri moved all in for 117,000. Sturm, who had a covering stack, nearly beat him into the pot.
Kayhan Mokri: 5?3?
Leon Sturm: A?A?
Mokri pulled ahead with two pair on the 3? turn but the 4? river gave Sturm a wheel. Mokri was eliminated while Sturm continued his upward trajectory.
