Eldridge's Value Bet Backfires
Level 8
: 300/600, 50 ante
A player in the small blind bet 2,000 into three opponents on a board of 
, and David Eldridge made it 6,000 from the big blind. Mike Senneff cold-called from middle position, and the player on the button followed suit. The bettor mucked, and the three remaining players saw a 
river. Eldridge bet 9,900, and Senneff tossed in a call. The player on the button agonized awhile before calling also.
Eldridge showed 
for a backdoor flush, but the spade turned out to be a bad card as Senneff held 
for the nut flush. The third player cursed a few times and mucked.
