: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Markkos Ladev raised his small blind to 85,000 and was called by Mike Watson in the big blind. The flop fell 7♥A♦8♦ and saw Ladev continue for 50,000. Watson called to the 8♣ turn, which was checked by his opponent.
Watson then fired 150,000, enough to let Ladev fold and take a more prominent lead.
