Power and Tajiou Both Rake Small Pots
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Jameson Painter raised to 120,000 with K♠Q♣ from the hijack and Chad Power three-bet J♠J♦ in the cutoff to 360,000. When it got back to Painter, he called.
The flop came 10♥10♣3♦, where Painter checked and Power threw out 360,000. That was enough to win the pot as Painter folded.
Shortly after, David Swift made it 130,000 on the button with A♠4♣ and Mounir Tajiou called with A♣10♥ in the big blind.
On the 2♠Q♦K♠ flop, Tajiou check-called a bet of 115,000 from Swift to see the 8♠ fall on the turn. Both checked to the 7♦ river, where Tajiou bet 400,000.
"Take it away, sir," said Swift to the dealer in reference to his cards, which meant Tajiou took the pot.
