Pasi Laihinen opened the action from the cutoff to 200,000 with A♥Q♦, and Mounir Tajiou defended his big blind with 6♥4♠.

Another flop of 2♣4♣2♦ went Tajiou’s way, who check-raised to 800,000 after a 300,000 continuation bet from Laihinen. Laihinen made the call.

The A♠ turn was a big card for Laihinen, and Tajiou fired 1.2 million into a 2.7 million pot, and Laihinen wasn’t going anywhere, making the call.

The 10♥ river didn’t change much, and Tajiou finally slowed down with a check. Laihinen went with a small bet of 300,000 and Tajiou was curious enough to pay, mucking his lower two pair.

Mounir Tajiou – 14,000,000
Pasi Laihinen – 9,300,000

Mounir Tajiou
