Ladva Bets Out Martello; Kerber Shows the Bluff
Level 7
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Felipe Boianovsky raised to 13,000 under the gun and Ottomar Ladva called on the button. Fausto Martello then three-bet to 25,000, and both opponents called.
Action checked to Ladva on the K♦6♦9♥ flop and he bet 33,000. Only Martello called, and they both checked the 7♦ turn.
Ladva then bet 78,000 on the 7♥ river, and Martello quickly folded.
At the other outer table, Kelvin Kerber and Fabiano Kovalski had built a pot of around 120,000 as they went to the turn on a board of A♣2♣6♠Q♥. Kerber then bet 50,000 from the small blind, and Kovalski called in the hijack.
The river was the 5♣ and Kerber bet 141,000, leaving only a few chips behind. Kovalski folded and used his winner showdown card, and Kerber showed 3♦3♣ for just a pair of threes.
