Takes Two to Tango

[user76079]

Ramin Hajiyev told us in level one that he had tangled with Shaun Deeb. If I remember right the American three-bet with five-deuce and made a straight that bettered Hajiyev's set. The two have tangled again, with Deeb winning again.

Deeb opened to 450 from under the gun and was called by Kai Tapani Kumpulainen in the next seat before Hajiyev three-bet to 1,400 from the hijack. Both players called to the {4-Hearts} {a-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} flop where the action was checked to the aggressor who continued for 2,500. Deeb called but Kumpulainen folded.

The {8-Diamonds} turn was checked to the {k-Clubs} river where Deeb bet 20,000. It was enough to cover Hajiyev's remaining 18,500 stack and it was enough to make him fold after a few minutes.
