Martinez Gonzalez Finds Sick Value
NLH Ante: 150,000
No-Limit Hold'em
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez opened to 200,000 under the gun, and received a call from Edward Leonard on the button. The blinds got out of the way, and the two went off to a J♠6♥5♣ flop.
Action checked through, and Martinez Gonzalez checked again on the 8♣ turn. Leonard bet out for 300,000, which saw his opponent call.
The Spaniard checked for a third time on the 5♦ river, and this time Leonard sized up to 850,000. Martinez Gonzalez used a time bank before announcing a raise to 2,700,000, leaving himself just 40,000 behind. Leonard instantly picked up his time banks, ready to put them to use. After just one had been burned, he stuck in the call.
Martinez Gonzalez tabled A♣A♠ for aces up, giving Leonard a sick look on his face. His A♥J♥ was no good. "That's a sick value bet," he told his opponent as he handed over the chips.
