Sunday Morning. No coffee. Eyes barely open.
And what is the first thing I see? It’s a message from Kayhan Mokri.
“Me and Linus are playing, ur missing out.” (As you do.)
Naturally, I dropped everything because when two of the best lock horns, you watch.
And what unfolded could only be described as a full-blown massacre.
I loaded up the CoinPoker. client, loaded up OBS, and hit record. We were ready.
Linus went to work, flipping the script on Kayhan in brutal fashion. Some wild coolers, sure, but also some absolute overkill aggression straight out of the Kayhan Mokri Sunday Special playbook.
When the dust settled, Linus was up a cool $130,000, shaving down that once-massive $300,000 deficit he had lost to Kayhan.
Is the Swiss beast heating up? Is Kayhan starting to rust? Was this just another chaotic Sunday in high-stakes land?
Hard to say… but what I can say is you are going to want to see this.
If you missed the live action, no worries. I have got you covered with the full replay plus a breakdown of all the biggest hands below.
Grab a coffee (I am finally getting mine), and enjoy the madness.

Back at the first table, Kayhan opened the button to $500. Linus three-bet from the big blind to $2,100, and Kayhan called.
The flop came J 7 2. Linus led for $2,100 into $4,200, and Kayhan called.

Hand No. 4 – Full House Disaster For Kayhan

Switzerland Fights Back
What started as a sleepy Sunday turned into a brutal bloodbath. Linus, the Swiss superstar, showed off clinical aggression, perfectly timed traps, and a fearless approach that allowed him to carve away a massive chunk of the deficit he was down. Kayhan, Norway’s finest, fought back bravely with some big pots, but ultimately fell victim to Linus’ relentless pressure.
The battle between Switzerland and Norway is heating up and this rivalry is far from finished. Kayhan still leads by around $200,000 though. Will Linus come back for more? Sure thing.
