Ladva Picks Off a Big Bluff to Double Off Luca
Ivan Luca raised to 17,000 in middle position, Ottomar Ladva three-bet to 50,000 in the cutoff, and Luca called.
Both players checked the Q♦J♣5♥ flop. Luca then led out for 25,000 on the 6♥ turn, Ladva raised to 85,000, and Luca called.
The river was the K♣ and Luca moved all in. Ladva took a few seconds before calling for his last 158,000, and Luca showed 8♦8♠. Ladva turned over K♠9♠ for a rivered pair of kings to win the pot and double up.
Ladva took some more off Luca a few hands later when they built a pot of around 100,000 going to the turn on a board of 10♥10♠5♥Q♠. Both players checked to the Q♦ river, and Ladva then bet 140,000 from middle position. Luca called in the big blind, and Ladva turned over Q♥8♥ for a full house to win another big pot off Luca.
Rafael Mota was the latest player to join the field.
