Zegal Goes for Thin Value
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Stanislav Zegal had raised in the cutoff when the recently doubled Csaba Fenyvesi flicked in a three-bet to 25,000 in the small blind. Zegal called to the 10♣10♠J♦ flop, where Fenyvesi continued for 18,000.
Zegal raised to 45,000, which Fenyvesi matched after some thought. After the 5♦ turn checked through to the 9♠ river, Fenyvesi knuckled the table again.
Zegal took some time before he came out with a bet of 76,500. Fenyvesi announced a call, but he mucked his cards when Zegal showed Q♠J♠8♣3♣ for a straight to the queen.
