The "Doc" Gets Bluffed
Martin Kabrhel opened to 40,000 and Christian Nilles in the cutoff, Masud "Doc" Prodhan in the small blind and Tamer Kamel in the big blind opted to call.
The flop was checked around, and Kamel came out swinging with a bet of 105,000 on the turn. Both Nilles and Prodhan called.
The river saw Prodhan check a third time before Kamel bet 280,000. Nilles quickly got out of the way, and back on Prodhan he mulled it over before revealing and mucking his hand.
"I give you the benefit of the doubt", Prodhan said just to instantly find Kamel turning over for the stone cold bluff.
That didn't bring Prodhan down, however, who instead told the story of Boris Beckers recent double. With the words Let's gamble, Becker had gotten his chips in on the turn with on a jack-high board only to be up against two aces. The river was another jack, and Becker scored the double.
