They've been the two most active players at today's table and they're butting heads nearly every hand. Ahmad won a nice pot when Jensen called all the way down but couldn't beat Saif's pocket Nines, and Jensen won most of those chips back when he flopped a pair with {Q-Clubs}

and Ahmad didn't hit his gutshot draw with {8-Diamonds}
