A Five-Bet and a Winner Showdown Card
Level 19
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ottomar Ladva opened to 80,000 from middle position, which was met with a three-bet to 235,000 from Carlos Serrano in the small blind. Ladva responded with a four-bet to 445,000, to which Serrano put in a five-bet to 640,000. Ladva called, and they went to a flop.
The action checked down all the way to the river on the 3♥6♠4♥8♦7♦ board.
Ladva checked for a third time on the river, and Serrano placed a bet of 475,000.
Ladva folded, but also used his one-time Winner Showdown card, forcing Serrano to show his cards.
Serrano flipped over A♥A♦.
