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.
