Le on a Nub after Value-Betting with Worse

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

Nam Le raised to 1,400 in the cutoff and only a player in the big blind came along.

Le checked back the {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{Q-Spades} flop and called when his opponent led 3,000 on the {9-Spades} turn.

The river was the {6-Diamonds} and the action was checked to Le who bet another 3,000. He was quickly called and turned up his {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} only to see his value-bet fail as his opponent flopped trips with {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

That hand saw Le drop to 4,400 but he open-shoved on the very next hand, and while big blind Scott Blumstein seemed interested, he eventually let it go.
