Seyed Tabaei Eliminated in 3rd Place (�22,000)
Level 27
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
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.
