Hamnett Bets for Thin Value on Turn
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Huseyin Akgul opened in late position to 3,000 before Benjamin Hamnett three-bet from the cutoff to 7,500. Akgul called and they were heads up to a flop.
The 7♠8♣3♥ flop landed and the action checked to Hamnett who continued for 8,500. Akgul called.
The J♣ landed on the turn and it checked to Hamnett again who sat in the tank for a moment before sizing up to 18,500.
After about a minute in the tank Akgul called and the 8♠ hit the river. The action checked through and Akgul tabled 6♣7♣ for bottom pair before Hamnett tabled 9♥9♠ for middle pair and a great turn value bet.
