Bell Makes Tough Laydown

Ayaz Mahmood

With the board reading {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}, Ayaz Mahmood had check-raised Chris Bell's leading bet of 30,000 to 90,000 and the action was back on Bell.

Although the crowd were shadowing the table, Bell took his time with his decision and began riffling through his chips. Meanwhile, Mahmood fidgeted in his seat like a three-legged ferret, his posture changing on multiple occasions.

At one point, Bell requested a count, but Mahmood refused to respond, leading to Bell asking the dealer for assistance. However, before the dealer had even reached out for chips, a couple of players estimated various figures, and even a random member of the rail shouted out a number.

With the eyes of the action-hungry audience fixated on the table, Bell flipped over a jack to gauge a last minute reaction. Whether he received a tell or not is unknown, but in the end, Bell made the fold and Mahmood took the pot.

Mahmood now on 350,000.
