Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri raised to 25,000 in the hijack before Niklas Astedt three-bet to 61,000 in the cutoff. Steve O'Dwyer then moved all in on the button, Mokri folded, but Astedt called for 200,000.

Niklas Astedt: A?A?
Steve O'Dwyer: K?K?

O'Dwyer had run right into kings and found no miracles on the Q?10?7?5?Q? board. The stacks were counted down and Astedt had him covered by just 2,000, earning a double up.

"What were you doing in that hand," Teun Mulder said to Mokri.

"Made the best ace-king fold ever," joked Paulius Plausinaitis.

"How do you know?" Mokri replied.
