Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action was picked up on a board showing 6♦6♥8♣9♣ and Dinesh Alt involved in a hand against an opponent in late position.

Alt checked, resulting in his opponent to bet 2,500, which Alt called.

The 2♣ showed up on the river, and Alt checked. The player in late position checked behind and Alt tabled 9♠9♦ for a full house, resulting in a quick fold from Alt’s opponent.

As the pot was pushed to Alt, the situation raised a question.

“Did I miss value?” Alt asked his opponent, who quickly shook his head up and down.

Alt gave a light chuckle in response, now knowing his opponent likely would’ve called a bet.
