Raising for Value?

We just saw a bit of a peculiar hand in the far corner of the room.

It was three-handed and checked around on the flop when we joined the action. The turn put {J-Spades} {6-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {4-Spades} on board, and Julien Labussier led out for 600 chips. Huub Verdonschot quickly called next door, while Sebastian Ruthenberg ducked out of the way.

Heads up now, the {4-Diamonds} landed on the river to put two pair on board. Labussier fired again, 1,200 this time. Verdonschot counted out a small raise, and he made it 2,550 straight. The call came instantly from Labussier.

Verdonschot tabled his {K-Spades} {8-Clubs}, giving him just a king kicker with his board pairs. Labussier promptly tabled {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for the big book, and that was easily enough to earn him the pot and a chip count of 38,000.

Verdonschot has taken a small step back to 25,500 after that confrontation.
