After a quiet stretch, Kaspars Butans came to life after he picked up J♥J♣ on the button. Mounir Tajiou, who has been involved in nearly every big pot, found another strong hand with A♥Q♣ and three-bet to 1.2 million. Butans took his time, tanking for a couple of minutes before opting to just call, creating a 2.8 million pot.
The dealer spread a 3♠J♠7♣ board for Butan’s set of jacks. Tajiou was first to act and checked, while Butans responded with a 550,000 bet, which Tajiou called without hesitation.
The K♥ landed on the turn, and Tajiou snap-called a 1.6 million bet with just an ace-high.
The 5♣ river changed nothing, and Butans went for maximum value, shoving all-in for 5.3 million into a 7 million pot.
This sent Tajiou deep into the tank, searching for an excuse to make a hero call. After several minutes, he ultimately let it go.
Mounir Tajiou – 16,000,000
Kaspars Butans – 12,000,000
