Thin Value Bet Leaves Jelinek in Trouble
The turn was out to give a board and Justin Smith led for 20,600 into his heads-up opponent Steve Jelinek. Jelinek made the call to see the river. Smith led again but for a relatively small 8,700. A big smile came across the Brit's face as he called.
Smith tabled . Jelinek said it was good and flashed and mucked. Jeff Lisandro was watching and said "What a value bet!"
Value or blocker bet or a combination of the two doesn't really matter now as Smith has the chips and Jelinek is now the shortest stack on around 25,000.
