Mounir Tajiou looked down at 6♦6♣ in the hijack and opened to 170,000, with Benyamin Canatan defending his big blind with K♠5♣.
The low flop ow 4♠2♥2♦ was a dream for Tajiou’s pocket sixes, and he continued with a 220,000 bet. Canatan, holding just king-high, made the call.
The turn A♣ looked like it might slow things down, but both players had other ideas. Tajiou fired again for 400,000 into a 900,000 pot, only to see Canatan check-raise to 1.1 million, trying to capitalize his wide range from the big blind. Tajiou wasn’t buying it and made the call.
The river 8♣ changed nothing, but Canatan decided he couldn’t continue with his story and checked to Tajiou, who slided in a 2,000,000 bet for his opponent to insta-fold.
Mounir Tajiou – 6,500,000
Benyamin Canatan – 3,600,000
