Kayhan “KayhanMok” Mokri won a combined $1 million from WhaleVibez across two high-stakes CoinPoker no-limit hold’em sessions last week. The heads-up games ran at $500/$1,000 with a $250 ante, continuing a matchup in which Mokri had already won about $500,000 in their first reported match.
The result included two pots worth more than a quarter of a million dollars. In the first, played with stacks of roughly 127 big blinds, Mokri opened the button to $2,500 and called a three-bet to $10,300.
WhaleVibez fired on every street of a J♣-10♠-8♦-4♦-6♥ board, betting $8,440 on the flop, $26,586 on the turn and $87,260 on the river. Mokri called the final bet with 10♥9♣ for a pair of tens, beating WhaleVibez’s ace-high bluff to collect a $253,713 pot.
The second featured hand was a flush-over-flush cooler with both players close to 150 blinds deep. WhaleVibez opened to $2,400 and called Mokri’s three-bet to $10,555 before Mokri bet the Q♥-6♦-4♦ flop for $7,131.
After both players checked the 3♥ turn, Mokri bet $17,936 when the 2♦ completed the board. WhaleVibez raised to $54,526, Mokri moved all in for $131,190, and WhaleVibez called with 8♦7♦ for a flush. Mokri’s K♦9♦ made the higher flush and secured the $298,254 pot.
Card Player said recent high-stakes no-limit action on CoinPoker had largely been in ring games. Mokri has also appeared in substantially bigger games on the site: Rakeback.com reported in January that he was among the first players at CoinPoker’s new $2,500/$5,000 tables and finished one session with a reported $500,000 overall profit.
Those January games also included a reported $1.1 million pot at $1,250/$2,500, in which Mokri beat Cardsforfun’s pocket aces. The latest result, however, came from a heads-up hold’em battle rather than those earlier, higher-stakes cash tables.
