Hajiyev And Botond Battling It Out

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Ramin Hajiyev and Balazs Botond have started to become quite active over on Table 2 and have clashed with each other on a number of occasions during the last orbit.

A couple of hands ago Botond opened from under the gun to 42,000, two players folded and Hajiyev made it 97,000 to play from the hijack seat. With the action back on Botond the Hungarian four-bet to 175,000 but instantly folded as Hajiyev moved all in.

The very next hand Hajiyev opened to 40,000 and Botond, now in the big blind, was his only customer. The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Botond check-called a 55,000 bet from his opponent. The turn brought the {10-Spades} into play and when Botond checked Hajiyev checked behind, taking the hand to the {8-Clubs} river. Botond now lead with a bet of 83,000 and Hajiyev made the call.

Botond: {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Hajiyev: Muck

This could be the start of a very interesting dynamic between the two, hold onto your hats folks!

Alessandro Minasi Eliminated in 16th Place (€20,000)

The action folded around to Frenchman on the button and he raised and called when Minasi shoved from the big blind.

Soulier: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Minasi: {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board ran {3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{5-Spades} to make Soulier two-pair.

Primoz Adamie
Primoz Adamie

Primoz Adamie has been eliminated from the PokerStars.com EPT Campione Main Event at the hands of Jannick Wrang.

We joined the action on the {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} flop when Adamie lead from the small blind for 80,000. Wrang made the call and it was off to the {6-Clubs} turn. Adamie now checked, Wrang fired a bet of 120,000 and Adamie called. The final community card was the {3-Clubs} and Adamie almost instantly moved all and Wrang jumped out of his skin and called.

Adamie: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Wrang: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} - for quads!

We are down to 14 in the Main Event

Giuseppe Biancouiso Eliminated in 14th Place (€25,000)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Giuseppe Biancouiso

Yet another player has been busted out here in the main event, Giuseppe Biancouiso becoming the 14th place finisher.

He three-bet all-in over the top of Fabrice Soulier's opening raise from the cutoff and flipped over {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} which were in great shape against the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. Biancouiso could not bear to watch and he left the table, meaning he missed the flop coming down {Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. The {9-Diamonds} saw Biancouiso come back to the table to pick up his World Series of Poker circuit ring and when the {2-Clubs} fell on the river it was all over for the Italian and Soulier is amongst the chip leaders.

Ramin Hajiyev and Balazs Botond have clashed on a few occasions today and we felt as if a big clash was coming. It came and Hajiyev was sent packing in a big pot.

Jannick Wrang opened from the hijack and Botond called from the button before Hajiyev squeezed from the big blind. Wrang folded but Botond moved all-in and Hajiyev called off his 730,000 chip stack.

Hajiyev: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Botond: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}

The flop fell {9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Clubs} and Boteond looked at the dealer and said, "Dealer, down. Like a five."

The Hungarian asked and he received as the turn came {5-Hearts} before the river matched as the {5-Diamonds}.
