Jonathan Abdellatif 'Bluffs' One by the Book

We caught the action on the turn with a sizable pot brewing in a three-way hand between Jonathan Abdellafif in middle position, a player sitting in the cutoff and Dzmitry Urbanovich on the button.

With the board reading Abdellatif had checked it over to the cutoff, who fired out a half pot bet of 5,000. Urbanovich called, as did Abdellatif keeping the action three-way to the river.

Abdellatif now led for 17,500 and while the player in the cutoff looked interested the 20-second shot clock ran down and he folded with just 2 seconds to spare, as did Urbanovich.

"Nice bluff mate," said the cutoff.

"You can call next time and see for yourself," retorted Abdellatif.

"Nah, the book says fold," replied the cutoff. Abdellatif seemed happy enough with the result so maybe he is reading some different literature.
