Short-stacked but still holding 17 big blinds, Igor Pihela Jr. opened the pot to 400,000 with 7♦7♣. Right behind him, the unstoppable Mounir Tajiou three-bet to 1.1 million with A♣10♦.
Pihela Jr. saw no other option and shoved all-in for 3.4 million, putting his tournament life on the line. Tajiou called rather quickly, and they were off to the races.
The A♠K♥K♠ flop was a disaster for the last remaining Estonian, as Tajiou paired his ace to take a commanding lead. The J♥ turn left Pihela Jr. needing one of the two remaining sevens to survive.
The 4♠ river changed nothing, and Pihela Jr. finished the 2025 Kings of Tallinn Main Event in fourth place, pocketing €61,000 for his deep run. Interestingly, his father, Igor Pihela Sr., also made a final table today, finishing eight in the €3,000 NLH event for €7,100.
Mounir Tajiou – 16,000,000
Igor Pihela Jr. – 0
