Pasi Laihinen min-raised on the button with A5, and Mounir Tajiou defended his big blind with 106.

The 3J7 flop missed both players, and both quickly checked.

The 7 turn gave Tajiou a flush draw, but again, both players checked.

Tajiou got there on the river with 4, but not much was expected as he fired a 750,000 bet into a 1.1 million pot.

Laihinen saw an opportunity to represent the nut flush with A in his hand and raised to 2 million. A bad timing for the Finn as Tajiou eventually made a call and was shown the good news for a massive chip lead. The Swede now holds more chips than both of his opponents combined.

Mounir Tajiou – 19,000,000
Pasi Laihinen – 8,000,000
