Sunday Morning. No espresso. Eyes barely open.
And what’s the very first thing I see? It’s a message from Kayhan Mokri.
“Me and Linus are enjoying, ur lacking out.” (As you do.)
Naturally, I dropped all the pieces as a result of when two of the perfect lock horns, you watch.
And what unfolded may solely be described as a full-blown bloodbath.
I loaded up the CoinPoker. consumer, loaded up OBS, and hit report. We had been prepared.
Linus went to work, flipping the script on Kayhan in brutal trend. Some wild coolers, positive, but in addition some absolute overkill aggression straight out of the Kayhan Mokri Sunday Particular playbook.
When the mud settled, Linus was up a cool $130,000, shaving down that once-massive $300,000 deficit he had misplaced to Kayhan.
Is the Swiss beast heating up? Is Kayhan beginning to rust? Was this simply one other chaotic Sunday in high-stakes land?
Onerous to say… however what I can say is you’re going to need to see this.
