Ding's Set Goes Down to Ladev's Wheel
Level 9
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Biao Ding raised to 6,000 from middle position with Damir Zhugralin calling from the small blind and Markkos Ladev defending his big blind.
All three players checked the 9?5?2? flop to see the 3? come on the turn. Zhugralin led out for 12,500 which Ladev called before Ding raised to 40,000. Zhugralin folded but Ladev called.
Ladev checked the Q? river and Ding shoved for roughly 140,000. Ladev pondered for a moment, then made the call.
Ding showed 9?9? for a set of nines on the flop, but to his surprise, he was second best to the A?4? of Ladev for a turned straight.
