Tajiou Gets Sticky With a Rivered Pair
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Richard Freitas looked down at Q♥8♣ in the small blind and limped in, which drew a check out of Mounir Tajiou in the big blind with 9♦4♦.
Freitas fired 100,000 on the 8♦K♠3♥ flop as he paired his eight, and Tajiou floated one to see the Q♦ turn. Freitas checked, Tajiou bet 275,000, and Freitas called.
A 9♠ landed on the river and again Freitas checked, and Tajiou neglected to take his showdown value as he threw out 325,000. Freitas then raised with his two pair to 900,000, and Tajiou paid it off with his pair of nines.
