Demlakian Goes Big On River Against Mokri
Kayhan Mokri opened to 18,000 from middle position and only Ken Demlakian made the call in the big blind.
The flop came A?8?5? and Demlakian check-called a bet of 16,000 from Mokri. On the 2? turn both players checked their options to the A? river.
Demlakian took a few seconds before sliding out a pile of blue 5,000 chips totaling 110,000 and Mokri went deep in the tank.
"That's very greedy of you," joked Mokri as he pondered his decision.
"Sorry guys I don't usually take this long. I feel like you just have to have it but how can I fold?" said Mokri just before he tossed in a chip for the call.
Demlakian tabled A?K? for trip aces and Mokri shook his head as he tossed his cards into the muck.
"Yeah that's what I thought you had, your kicker," said Mokri to Demlakian as he added more to his massive tower of chips.
