Mokri Leaves Defending Champion Short
Nível 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ren Lin opened to 12,000 from under the gun and Juan Pardo called from the big blind. The 8♣8♦2♦ flop checked through to the 2♥ turn. Pardo fired out 40,000.
"I believe you, I don't know why," said Lin as he conceded the pot.
On the next deal, Kayhan Mokri opened to 12,000 from the cutoff and called when Pardo three-bet to 65,000.
Pardo put Mokri all-in on the 7♠6♠2♣ flop and Mokri put in his last 69,000.
Kayhan Mokri: 8♣6♣
Juan Pardo: Q♥Q♠
Pardo was miles ahead with his pocket queens and removed some of Mokri's outs after he turned a flush draw on the 5♠ turn. Mokri, now with an open-ended straight draw, sealed the checkmark on the 4♣ river to double up and stun the table.
