Kaukua Gets Thin Value

Ryan Lashmar

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Aleksandar Tot opened to 6,000 from under the gun and received calls from Toni Kaukua in the small blind and a player in the big blind.

The flop came K♥2♠2♥ and action checked around to Tot who bet 5,500. Kaukua made the call while the big blind got out of the way.

Both remaining players checked the J♠ turn to see the J♦ river. Kaukua bet 3,000 and was called by Tot.

Kaukua showed 8♦8♣ which was good enough to take the pot.
