Collusion at the World Poker Open?
 

The Art of the Dark Check

Aiman Abbassi limps from early position, Mike White limps behind, Arthur Azen also limps, and Bob Williams raises to 32,000 from the button. Abbassi calls, White folds, and Azen calls.

The three players are about to see the flop when Abbassi checks in the dark. The flop comes down KK10, Azen checks, Williams bets 71,000, Abbassi calls, and Azen gets out of the way.

Before the turn Abbassi checks in the dark again and Williams checks in the dark behind him. The turn is the 5.

The dealer burns and Abbassi checks in the dark yet again. The river is the 4 and Williams checks it down.

Abbassi tables JJ but Williams has a full house with 1010.

He put him on K4. Good check.

Re: Collusion at the World Poker Open?
 

Do you have any evidence at all that Aiman Abbassi and Bob Williams know each other besides the fact that they were sitting at the same poker table?

Why does Bob Williams want to help Aiman Abbassi stay in the tournament?

Bad play does not equal collusion.

Any info about stack sizes and bubble? Seems pretty bad not to value bet the river but I don't know if he could call a C/R and a bet might have pot comitted him.
