Mounir Tajiou opened to 4,000 from early position, and was met with a three-bet jam to 26,000 by Alexander Mather from middle position. Action folded back to Tajiou, who called with the covering stack, after a brief period of thought.

Mounir Tajiou:
Mather needed some help from the board, but Tajiou took the pot with a pair of threes after the runout.
Tajiou celebrated enthusiastically while playing “The Gambler” by Kenny Rogers on his phone, and went over and shook his opponent by the hand, who said “Nice hand” as he took his leave.
Mounir Tajiou – 160,000
Alexander Mather – eliminated
