Markkos Ladev Eliminated in 16th Place (€76,200)
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Markkos Ladev and Adrian Mateos were involved in a blind-on-blind pot. On the 3♣J♠2♦J♣ board, Ladev check-called a 30,000 bet from Mateos.
The river fell the 4♠ and Ladev checked again. Mateos put him to the test for his final 100,000 chips, which sent Ladev into the tank. After a while, he made the call for his tournament life.
Mateos showed down 6♦5♥ for the rivered straight. ''Do I have to show?'' Ladev asked. After an affirmative answer was given, he showed that he had called with just a pair of ducks: Q♥2♣.
The hero call did not bear fruit and Ladev was eliminated as the first player from the final two tables.
