Nível 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 16,000 from the hijack and Patrik Antonius called in the cutoff.

The flop came 7♥J♥2♠ and Vaskaboinikau led out for 15,000. Antonius called to the 2♦ turn, where he called another bet of 32,000.

Vaskaboinikau checked the J♠ river and Antonius checked behind. Vaskaboinikau showed Q♦Q♥ and Antonius mucked, claiming he had two nines.

Alejandro Lococo is sporting a pink bucket hat at the table today, and Kayhan Mokri told him he has one just like that.

"If we get heads-up I'll go get it," Mokri told him.

"There's seven other players at the table and these two are already making plans for when they go heads-up. What they're going to wear, where it's going to be," Sam Grafton added. Mokri and Grafton then agreed to take shots together if they reach heads-up.

"I must warn you. I play better drunk," Mokri said.

"How much is it?" Asked Mokri with a sigh, "I butchered this hand."

After hearing it was 225,000, Mokri took about 45 seconds before deciding to let it go.

Alejandro Lococo raised to 17,000 from early position and Kayhan Mokri called in the small blind.

"How much do you have," Mokri asked Lococo before they saw the flop.

"580. Do you have six million or seven," Lococo joked before the dealer turned over 7♥Q♠J♥. Both players checked.

The turn came the 4♣ and Mokri then led out for 40,000. Lococo called to the 2♦ river, where Mokri bet another 175,000.

Lococo again called and Mokri turned over J♦J♣ for a flopped set to win the big pot.

"You hit the last jack," Lococo told him.

"I'm running good," Mokri replied.
