Ladev Makes the Right Call
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Markkos Ladev opened to 105,000 from under the gun and received calls from Enrico Coppola on the button and Mike Watson in the big blind.
The flop came 7?7?8?. Watson checked and Ladev bet 105,000. Coppola called while Watson got out of the way.
Both remaining players checked the Q? turn leading to the 8? river. Ladev checked, Coppola bet 260,000 and Ladev called.
Coppola could only show a counterfeited pocket pair with 2?2? while Ladev had A?Q? for queens up to take the pot.
