Tajiou Wins Final Pot of Table 30

Livello 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A big pot of 28,500 chips was brewing between Mounir Taijou in the small blind, Artsiom Lasouski in the hijack, and Jean-Noel Thorel in the cutoff. Tajiou bet 9,000 on a flop of 7♥K♠7♠, receiving calls from both of his opponents.

The 9♥ turn was checked through before the K♦ river double-paired the board. Tajiou made a bet of 40,000, enough to put both other players all in.

Lasouski went through several time banks before finding a fold and Thorel quickly followed suit. Tajiou raked in the pot just before the table was broken.

Livello 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Niall Farrell was sitting in the same seat he busted his first entry in. He made a bet of 10,000 on a board of 5♣7♥7♣J♠ on the button, after Andrea Bensaid checked in the hijack.

Bensaid spent two time banks before calling, growing the pot to 34,000. After the 2♣ river hit the table, Bensaid checked again and Farrell made a bet of 25,000, more than half of his remaining stack.

Bensaid did not need as much time to make a decision, quickly folding and forfeiting the pot.

"Scottish people don't bluff," tablemate Mark Teltscher told Bensaid comfortingly.
