Franco Goes for Thin Value
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Eric Aittaleb limped in from middle position and "David" limped behind in the small blind. Sonny Franco raised to 4,000 from the big blind and received calls from both opponents.
the flop came 8?5?5?. "David" checked, Franco checked and Aittaleb bet 5,000. "David" got out of the way while Franco made the call.
Both players checked the Q? turn leading to the 2? river. Franco bet 14,000 and after about one minute of consideration Aittaleb made the call.
Franco showed down J?J? for a pair of jacks and Aittaleb's hand hit the muck.
