Besic Good at Showdown But Misses Value

A player limped under the gun and Huso Besic raised to 300, receiving a call from Christian Ballstadt. Marc Fehsenfeld then produced a three-bet to 1,000 from the small blind. The limper folded, but both Besic and Ballstadt came along for the ride.

On the A♥6♥J♦ flop, Fehsenfeld continued with a bet of 800, and both of his opponents called.

The 6♠ rolled off on the turn, and Fehsenfeld fired out a bet of 1,500, which again failed to shake off either opponent.

The 9♠ river completed the board and was checked through. Fehsenfeld showed A♣10♠ for a pair of aces.

When he did this, Besic claimed he had not checked. The dealer and both of his opponents were clear they thought it was a clear check (for the record PokerNews agreed).

Ballstadt then turned over A♠K♦ for a better ace than Fehsenfeld's, but Besic turned over A♦9♣ for the rivered two pair, and scooped the pot.
