Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Anton Morgenstern saw action folded to him on the button and he limped in. Joshua Ladines completed from the small blind and and Michael Kuney checked his option to take action three ways to the flop 
. Both blinds checked to Morgenstern, who bet 9,000. Ladines called and Kuney folded.
The turn came 
and Ladines checked. Morgenstern announced a pot-sized bet that the dealer stated to be 30,000. Ladines check-raised all in for a total of 55,000 and Morgenstern quickly called.
Anton Morgenstern: 
Joshua Ladines: 
Ladines was ahead with a straight and needed to fade higher straight outs as well as flush outs. The river was clean for him and he secured the double, leaving Morgenstern with crumbs.
