Seyed Tabaei Eliminated in 3rd Place (€22,000)

After a short break, the final three players returned to their seats and small tussles emerged.

Anders Bjorkheim then raised the button to 325,000 with the K♥2♠ and Seyed Tabaei called in the big blind with the 9♠9♣. On the J♠J♦2♦ flop, Tabaei bet 400,000 and Bjorkheim called.

The 3♠ on the turn brought another bet worth 800,000 by Tabaei with 1.2 million behind and Bjorkheim reluctantly called, as they headed to the 2♣ on the river.

Bjorkheim improved to bottom full house and Tabaei moved all-in for the rest of it. The Norwegian shook his head initially but made the call to knock out Tabaei in third place for €22,000.

There will be another short break of around eight minutes before the heads-up duel is set to get underway.
