Ladev Triples Up
Level 20
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
With Markkos Ladev automatically all-in in the big blind for 35,000 chips, Chris Brewer opened to 160,000 from the hijack. Duco ten Haven came along in the small blind to create a side pot.
Brewer grew that side pot when he made a bet of 90,000 on the 10?4?3? board, which Ten Haven check-called. On the K? turn, both players checked before Ten Haven led out for the minimum of 80,000 on the J? river.
A quick fold followed by Brewer, and Ten Haven showed A?J? to rake in the side pot. However, his pair was not high enough to eliminate Ladev, as he played K?6? for top pair and tripled up to just over one big blind.
