Ruijs Goes for Thin Value
Level 30
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Joris Ruijs raised to 250,000 from the cutoff with 10♥10♦, which Jose Criado called on the button with A♠J♦, tempting Lukas van Eeden to join in from the big blind with his J♣9♦.
The action checked to Ruijs on a 5♦K♦3♣ flop, who bet 225,000. Criado called, but Van Eeden quickly folded. The 2♠ river was checked through, but when the Q♣ completed the board, Ruijs bet again, this time for 350,000. There was no value to be had, as Criado promptly released his cards to the dealer.
