With newly collected chips, Pasi Laihinen opened to 250,000 from the middle position with 7♠7♣, and Mounir Tajiou defended his big blind with Q♦2♥.
The flop 10♥5♥7♥ gave Laihinen another set, but with a monotone board this time around. He opted for a small 150,000 bet into a 675,000 pot, and Tajiou, chasing a flush draw with a deuce, made the call.
The 9♠ turn seemed harmless, but Tajiou saw it differently and he led out for 450,000. Laihinen just called in position.
The K♣ river was a blank, and Tajiou fired one last shot, betting 900,000 into a 1.9 million pot, trying to sell his story. Laihinen seized up a bet from Tajiou before ultimately making the correct call. Tajiou mucked his bluff, as Laihinen scooped another big pot and is now third in chips at the final table.
Pasi Laihinen – 4,700,000
Mounir Tajiou – 2,600,000
