Besic Good at Showdown But Misses Value
A player limped under the gun and Huso Besic raised to 300, receiving a call from Christian Ballstadt. Marc Fehsenfeld then produced a three-bet to 1,000 from the small blind. The limper folded, but both Besic and Ballstadt came along for the ride.
On the A?6?J? flop, Fehsenfeld continued with a bet of 800, and both of his opponents called.
The 6? rolled off on the turn, and Fehsenfeld fired out a bet of 1,500, which again failed to shake off either opponent.
The 9? river completed the board and was checked through. Fehsenfeld showed A?10? for a pair of aces.
When he did this, Besic claimed he had not checked. The dealer and both of his opponents were clear they thought it was a clear check (for the record PokerNews agreed).
Ballstadt then turned over A?K? for a better ace than Fehsenfeld's, but Besic turned over A?9? for the rivered two pair, and scooped the pot.
