Getting Value

Mike Schwartz
Mike Schwartz
Mike Schwartz limps, Jason Young makes it 300,000 and Schwartz calls, albeit after asking his aggressive opponent if he is bullying him.

Flop = {3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

Check, check.

Turn = {7-Clubs}

Check, check.

River = {5-Clubs}

Check, ch... no, hold on, a bet from Schwartz, to the tune of 500,000.

After smiling and glancing over at his buddy on the rail, Young sighs and announces, "Go on, I call."

Whilst Young has just ace high with {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, so does Schwartz, but with a better kicker, his non-check with {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} on the river looking like a successful and well-timed value bet.
