Pho Goes for Thin Value
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Chico Pho raised to 11,000 in middle position and Chris Kennedy defended in the big blind.
The flop came 5♣J♠4♠ and Kennedy check-called a bet of 13,000 from Pho.
The 10♦ turn checked through to the J♦ river where Kennedy checked again. Pho bet 19,000 and Kennedy thought for a moment before making the call.
Pho tabled 6♣6♠ for two pair, jacks and sixes and Kennedy tossed his cards into the muck.
