Candio Takes Himself to Value Town

A player in middle position opened for 675 and was called by Filippo Candio on the button and the player in the small blind.

The flop brought the {4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and the small blind checked, prompting a 1,425 c-bet from the original raiser. Candio called and the small blind folded.

Both players checked the {Q-Clubs} turn. When a {2-Hearts} came on the river, Candio's opponent checked and Candio fired a small 1,200 bet, which got a quick call out of his opponent.

Candio tabled {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of nines and his opponent revealed {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades} for a turned pair of queens, which awarded him the pot.

"I tried to value," Candio said with a grin.

Candio is still sitting healthy with 61,000.
