The Dragon Gets Tamed

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Najeem Ajez raised to 2,500 from middle position and was called by Dean Blatt in hijack as well as the player in the big blind.

"Why do you keep chasing me?" Ajez said to Blatt. "You poke the dragon and eventually you'll get burnt," he added jokingly.

The flop came down {q-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Spades} and the big blind checked. Ajez bet 3,500. Blatt called. The big blind then raised to 11,000. Ajez and Blatt then mucked their hands relatively quickly.

"Thanks for the chips," the big blind announced, before exposing the {2-Spades} then raking in the pot.

Ajez and Blatt didn't really mind as they continued to banter following the hand.
