Mokrani Holds On to Double Off Zhu
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mohamed Mokrani raised to 18,000 in the cutoff and Mohammadreza Karkan called on the button. Nan Zhu then three-bet to 60,000 and both opponents called.
The flop came J?2?K? and Zhu continued for 40,000. Mokrani raised to 107,000 and Karkan got out of the way, but Zhu moved all in. Mokrani snap-called for his last 370,000.
Mohamed Mokrani: K?J?
Nan Zhu: 7?4?
Mokrani was ahead with top two pair, while Zhu had a flush draw. The 5? turn was no help to Zhu, while the 2? completed the board on the river and secured Mokrani a double up.
