Ortiz Gets Some Turn Value

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Facing a bet of 6,800 on the turn of a {2-Spades}{5-Spades}{j-Spades}{k-Diamonds} board, Lewis Ortiz raised it up to 23,000. His opponent took a moment before making the call seeing the {3-Diamonds} land on the river.

Both players checked and Ortiz quickly turned over the {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for just a pair of kings. His opponent took another look at his cards before tossing his cards into the muck.
