Two Pairs For Hajiyev

Maxime Taldir

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Ramin Hajiyev opened to 35,000 from early position and was called by Khazret Nebezhev seated on his left in the hijack, by Alessandro Pichierri in the cutoff, and Frank Lagodich in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 4?7?A?, where Hajiyev made a continuation bet of 45,000. But Nebezhev decided to three-bet to 115,000. Pichierri and Lagodich folded, but Hajiyev called.

The 3? came on the turn, and Nebezov fired a second barrel of 95,000. Hajiyev check-called. There was no more action on the river K? as both players checked.

Hajiyev revealed A?K?. Nebezov made a face, and eventually folded.
