Ajayi Squeezes, Is Given Respect
Mario Navarro opened the action with a raise to 125,000 from under the gun and was called by Martin Huk who was two to his left. The remaining players in position all folded, putting action on Adedapo Ajayi out of the small blind. He put in a raise to 530,000 and Navarro quickly folded. After about 35 seconds, Huk folded as well and Ajayi raked in the pot.
At the end of the hand, Ajayi apparently looked back at his cards and it caused Huk to ask him something along the lines of if he wanted action. Ajayi confirmed he would have loved action, saying that he had queens. Huk confirmed that was a good hand.
Ajayi then directed his attention to Navarro, asking if he had something along the lines of ace-queen. Navarro responded saying he had better than ace-queen, giving Ajayi respect with his preflop laydown.
