Minko Takes From Ladva
Level 12
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Vladimir Minko raised to 32,000 on the button and was called by Ottomar Ladva and a recently returned Martin Kabrhel in the blinds.
The flop came 8♦5♥2♦ and Ladva led out for 25,000. Kabrhel folded, but Minko then raised to 105,000 and Ladva called.
Minko bet 75,000 on the 10♦ turn, and Ladva called. The 6♣ river was checked down, and Ladva showed 8♣7♣ for a pair of eights. Minko, though, had A♣8♠ and took the pot with his ace-kicker.
