Spencer Bets Thinly
Level 2
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Isaac Haxton raised to 7,000 in the hijack and was called by Lewis Spencer in the big blind. Haxton then continued for 15,000 on the Q♥K♣10♥ flop and Spencer check-called.
On the 6♥ turn, both players checked before Spencer threw in 12,000 on the 7♥ river.
Haxton weighed his options for a bit but eventually tossed in a call. Spencer tabled K♦7♠ for two pair and raked in the pot when Haxton mucked his cards.
"You had a thin-value-betting face on," tablemate Daniel Negreanu told Spencer.
"What gave it away? The fact that I bet 25 percent of the pot?" Spencer asked rhetorically.
