Altman Goes Thin for Value
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
A player in middle position opened to 2,200. It folded all the way to Brian Altman in the small blind who put in a three-bet to 8,000. Middle position called.
The Q♦8♦4♥ flop hit the felt and Altman led for 9,000. Middle position called.
The 6♦ landed on the turn completing the flush and action quickly checked through to an A♠ river.
Altman sat in the tank for a moment and then put out another 9,000. His opponent thought it over and then put in the chips. Altman tabled A♥5♥ for just a rivered pair and his opponent tabled 9♥9♠ for an under-pair to the board.
