Ladev Bests Mateos in Three-Bet Pot
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Markkos Ladev had opened from the button and Adrian Mateos three-bet from the big blind. Ladev called, creating a 380,000 chip pot. The flop was then dealt Q?4?4? and Maetos bet 105,000 chips. Ladev made the call and the 8? turn was checked by both players.
Both players knuckled the table on the K? river as well, and Mateos showed his J?J? for a pair of jacks. However, Ladev played one pair higher with his A?Q? for a pair of queens, and raked in another pot.
