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.
