Khatri Gets Thin Value

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Bhavin Kahtri opened for 4,000 and called when the hijack made it 10,000 to go.

Khatri check-called for 8,000 on the J104 flop before a 6 turn checked through to the 8 river.

Khatri led out for just 2,000, an unusually small bet that confused his opponent.

"It's embarrassing isn't when you can't call 2,000," said Khatri. "You think about a bluff-raise?"

The hijack just opted to call and mucked after Khatri tabled his QJ.
