Ladev's Kings Cracked

Matt Warburton

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Markkos Ladev raised to 5,500 from late position, Jules Dickerson called on the button and the big blind came along.

The flop came 9?6?2? and action checked to Dickerson, who made it 6,000 to go. The big blind folded and Ladev check-raised to 25,000, which Dickerson called.

The turn was the 6? and Ladev bet 15,000, which Dickerson called. The river came the 3? and Ladev moved all in for around 55,000. Dickerson snap-called.

Ladev showed K?K? for two pair, kings with the sixes on board. Dickerson, however, had A?5? for the ace-high flush. He won the pot and Ladev was eliminated.
