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 
and Botond check-called a 55,000 bet from his opponent. The turn brought the 
into play and when Botond checked Hajiyev checked behind, taking the hand to the 
river. Botond now lead with a bet of 83,000 and Hajiyev made the call.
Botond: 
Hajiyev: Muck
This could be the start of a very interesting dynamic between the two, hold onto your hats folks!
