Manji Calls Time
The final board read and Yann Dion had bet 27,500. Rasmus Agerskov was the player facing the bet and deep in thought. A few minutes ticked by and one player at his table, Ayaz Manji, was getting increasingly agitated. He complained about how much time it was taking for Agerskov to make his decision to which he calmly responded that he was within his rights to call the time. “I already did. Floor. Time.” Said Manji raising his voice. The dealer tried to calm him down, the floor was called and the countdown began. With one second to go Agerskov dropped a chip over the line to indicate a call and Dion turned over for the straight. “Nice hand.” Said Agerskov.
A couple of hands later Govert Metaal limped in the cut-off, the small blind made it up and Manji checked his option. The flop was .It was checked to Metaal who bet 5,100 and won the pot. Manji began his guessing Metaals hand, something he likes to do frequently. This time it ranged from ace queen, through to pocket fours. Metaal remained tight lipped.
