Things Getting Heated in the �10,200

Tyler Foran

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mounir Tajiou opened 7,000 under the gun before Fahredin Mustafov three-bet 20,000. The action was back on Tajiou who asked Mustafov if he had about 130,000 behind.

Mustafov responded with a confrontational "Are you blind?" as he stared him down.

Tajiou seemed dumbfounded by the response and asked for the floor to listen.

Tajiou claimed he could not tell the difference between the blue and green chips, so the floor let him know which were which. While still deciding on his option he said, "I don't know why you're so upset."

Mustafov responded with a very blunt, "Because I do not like you."

"That much was obvious," Tajiou replied.

After a few more seconds of back-and-forth, Tajiou announced all-in, and Mustafov snap-called his stack of 173,500.

Fahredin Mustafov: A?K?
Mounir Tajiou: 9?9?

It was a classic flip as the board ran out Q?5?5?K?5?, giving Mustafov fives full of kings to double through Tajiou.

"Now I like you," Mustafov joked as he pulled in the pot.

Tajiou reached out and gave Mustafov a fist pump as the dealer shipped the pot.
