Post-Hand Haggling

As the rest of the Shadow Room dispersed for the 90-minute dinner break, Ramsey Ajram became entwined in an interesting pot with an unknown assailant.

It was Ajram who kick-started the action, raising it up to 400 from the button. Martin Hansen, who I was told had entered numerous battles with Ajram, folded in the small blind, leaving the big blind to throw in the extra 200.

On the {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop, Ajram made a continuation bet of 500, which was duly called, before firing out for 1,200 on the {9-Diamonds} turn. This time, however, the big blind check-raised to 3,650, putting the pressure back on Ajram.

Although seemingly uncomfortable with the situation, Ajram made the call leading to a {K-Clubs} river where the big blind announced all-in for what appeared to be around the 6,500 mark.

"Will you show me?" probed Ajram, utilising a familiar line.

His opponent shrugged, and replied, "What you gonna fold?"

After some inane back and forth questioning, Ajram folded what he claimed was {A-}{7-} for two pair, muttering "Sick" in the process. He then dipped into his pockets and offered ten pounds for a peak at his cards.

The big blind, however, counter-offered with fifty pounds, which was evidently outside of Ajram's pay-to-see 'roll as he retrieved his ten pounds and exited the room.

Despite this setback, Ajram still has around the 20,000 mark.
