Korkis Gets Value From Epstein

Level 28 : 80,000/160,000, 0 ante

In a limped battle of the blinds, Alex Epstein and Wasim Korkis checked the {q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop and Epstein check-called a bet on the {4-Clubs} turn for 300,000. Epstein then checked the {2-Spades} river and Korkis wasted little time before placing a bet of 800,000.

"You played this hand very strange," Epstein remarked almost immediately. He gave it more than two minutes of consideration while riffling his chips and eventually made the call.

Korkis rolled over {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for the nut straight and Epstein mucked {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} face up.
