Ladva Spikes River to Survive
Level 19
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
First to act, Rodrigo Seiji raised to 160,000, and Ottomar Ladva called in the big blind.
The dealer spread a 2♥7♦6♠ flop, and when Ladva checked, Seiji bet 800,000, more than enough to cover the remaining 290,000 Ladva had in his stack.
Ladva made the call, and the cards were flipped over.
Ottomar Ladva: A♥9♣ 
Rodrigo Seiji: A♣K♥
The 2♠ turn was clean for Seiji, but Ladva spiked the 9♦ on the river, earning him a full double up.
