Tajiou's Trip Aces Get Paid
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Mounir Tajiou opened 3,500 in early position and Michael Perrone three-bet 10,000 next to act. The action folded back around to Tajiou and he made the call.
When the A♦5♦3♣ flop hit the felt, Tajiou check-called a bet of 5,000 from Perrone.
The 10♣ turn received checks from both players and the A♠ fell on the river. Tajiou led for 17,000, and Perrone tank-called to see the A♣6♣ of Tajiou before mucking his hand.
