Elder Makes Thin Value Bet on River
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Felix Schneiders raised to 4,000 from the button and Rupert Elder called in the big blind.
The flop came 7♠4♥J♠. Elder checked and Schneiders bet 3,000, which Elder called. Action slowed down on the 9♦ turn, with both players opting to check.
The river was the 2♥. Elder fired out a bet of 5,000 and Schneiders threw in a chip to make the call. Elder showed J♣5♣ for a pair of jacks. He'd extracted thin value on the river, with Schneiders mucking his hand.
