Newey Goes for Thin Value, Doesn't Pay Off
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Sebastian Toro and Paul Newey were heads-up on the river with the board reading Q♣5♠3♥6♥J♥. Toro led out with a bet of 8,500 and Newey raised to 28,000.
Toro spent over two minutes in the tank and finally called. Newey flipped over K♥Q♠ for top pair and what he thought was the winner, but Toro tabled A♦Q♥ for top pair and a better kicker to scoop the pot.
