Tajiou Assumes Chip Lead From Silva
Level 19
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Pablo Silva opened from the button to 50,000 and was called by Mounir Tajiou in the big blind.
Both checked as the flop came 9?4?10?.
Tajiou led out for 75,000 on the 7? turn, before being raised by the Brazilian chip leader to 225,000. Tajiou called and it went to a river.
It landed the 3? and this time Tajiou slowed down by checking. Silva blasted off a bet of 600,000 and Tajiou made a relatively quick call. He tabled J?10?, which was enough to beat Silva's K?8? and hand the chip lead over to the Swede.
