Mokrani Draws First Blood
Level 36
: Blinds 200,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Nichan Khorchidian raised to 1,500,000 from the button and Mohamed Mokrani defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the 4?Q?6? flop leading to the 5? turn. Mokrani check-called a 1,200,000 bet from Khorchidian.
Mokrani checked again on the 10? river and Khorchidian bet 2,000,000. Mokrani once again made the call.
Khorchidian could only show K?2? for a bluff while Mokrani turned over 9?4? for just a pair of fours to take the pot and give himself nearly a 2:1 chip lead versus his opponent.
