Amirov’s Promise
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
The board read and Rhys Jones had bet 21,700. The man facing the bet was Ilkin Amirov and he did not like it one bit.
Jones sat stock still while Amirov looked like he was being tortured. It was a pot sized bet and represented the vast majority of his remaining chips. He shook his head and shifted uncomfortably in his seat. At last he made the fold and asked Jones, “Show one? Tell me later?” but got no response.
Instead he turned to Timothy Adams, “What do you think? Did he have it? Good bet anyway.”
Amirov explained that he had made a bad call to bust an earlier tournament today and had promised that he would not make any more calls like that. If it hadn’t been that way he would have called.
