String Bet Ruins The Hand for Lambert

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

We catch the action on a board of {a-Hearts} {2-Spades} {q-Diamonds} {10-Spades} and Lambert bets 84,000. Martin Jacobson calls as does Ahmed Abdel Fatah in the small blind and the big blind folds.

The river is the {5-Clubs} and Abdel Fatah checks to Lambert. Lambert counts out a bet of 160,000 consisting of 100,000 in grey 5,000 chips and 60,000 in 10,000 blue chips. Then he makes his mistake as he puts his pile of blue chips across the line in a string bet motion. Jacobson notices this and alerts the dealer who tells Lambert to take his 100,000 in grey chips back and his 60,000 blue chip bet has to stand. Jacobson and Abdel Fatah now have a much easier call to make.

Lambert shows {q-Spades} {9-Spades} but Jacobson has a better {a-Spades} {8-Clubs} hand. Abdel Fatah folded.
