Tajiou With Bad Timing; Nex Sniffs Out Power's Bluff
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Sebastian Schulze looked down at A♠A♥ in the cutoff and made it 125,000 to go. Mounir Tajiou was in the big blind and three-bet 10♥8♣ to 410,000. Schulze shoved, and Tajiou had no choice but to let it go.
Shortly after, with around 850,000 in the pot on a 10♠4♠5♣5♠4♦ board, Chad Power shoved the river, which put Vladimir Nex to the test for his last 1,070,000. After thinking long and hard, Nex called.
Power then flipped A♦7♠ for a bluff, and Nex's 9♠9♦ was good for the double-up.
