Tajiou's Kings Hold Up, Iwanov-Petkin's Prediction Comes True

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Mounir Tajiou

Mounir Tajiou had his stack of 12,400 in the middle preflop and was at risk to Pasi Sormunen. Dimitar Iwanov-Petkin had a decision to make having already put in a few chips and said "I will fold the winning hand," then laid down pocket jacks.

Pasi Sormunen: Q10

"I didn't expect you to be that strong," said Sormumen.

Tajiou was well ahead with his pocket kings, but it seemed that Iwanov-Petkiv was correct when he said that he'd fold the winning hand as the A6J flop would have given him a set. The 27 runout didn't change anything, and Tajiou doubled up his stack.
