In a rare match-up between two cash game gods, Kayhan ‘KayhanMok’ Mokri and Linus ‘LLinusLLove’ Loeliger battled it out in $100-$200 Texas Hold’em on CoinPoker early Wednesday morning.

This no-limit hold’em battle was the ninth overall in the CoinPoker Heads Up Challenge series over the last three days, including the fourth battle between these two heads-up legends. You can watch the full series on the CoinPoker YouTube channel.

While playing three tables of $20K NL, the first huge pot went the way of LLinusLLove, virtually stacking KayhanMok to take down a $58,600 pot in fantastic fashion.

Action

KayhanMok opened to $500 from the button with 9Spade Suit 9Heart Suit. LLinusLL0ve three-bet to $2,000 with KClub Suit QClub Suit and KayhanMok made the call.

LLinusLL0ve smashed the KDiamond Suit 4Heart Suit 2Club Suit flop and continuation bet for $1,240, roughly 30% pot. KayhanMok called.

The turn brought the 10Club Suit, giving LLinusLL0ve the flush draw to go along with his top pair. With $6,480 in the middle, Linus went full pot. Kayhan, once again, made the call.

On the JSpade Suit river, Linus went for $5,000, a little less than 40% pot. Kayhan took the opportunity to turn his nines into the bluff and jammed for $19,587. Linus made the call and took down a juicy $58,614 pot.

Analysis

From a GTO (game theory optimal) perspective, the two players played it super standard up until the turn. Linus should mostly check with his range but with his specific combo, he can mix between checking and betting virtually any size between 66% and 150% pot. There’s minimal EV difference between all of his options, so his b100 is perfectly fine.

Kayhan’s specific combo of pocket nines should go in the muck, as he’s losing nearly two big blinds of EV (expected value) by calling. If he had a club in his hand, it would virtually be a zero EV call, with the solver preferring to fold. In my opinion, Kayhan thinks he’s spotted something and has already decided he’s going to jam a lot of rivers.

On the river, Linus again shows off his deep knowledge of the game with his proper bet sizing. Though Kayhan should have folded turn and could (and should) be folding river, shoving his nines is, in fact, the second-best option.

Despite having the queen nut blocker, Linus does block the missed flush draw, which should make up a decent number of Kayhan’s bluffs. The solver says that Linus should still find this fold and basically call only with two pair and up.

Luckily, we don’t live in a world of solvers, and if Linus believes Kayhan is going to show up with too many bluffs, including this combo of K-Q suited in his calling range is a great adjustment.
