Ladouceur Wins a Small One
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
Marc-Andre Ladouceur opened to 1,200 in the cutoff, Dominik Nitsche called on the button, and a player in the big blind defended. The dealer fanned 
, the player in the big blind checked, and Ladouceur continued for 1,700. Only Nitsche called.
The turn was the suicide king (
), Ladouceur checked, and Nitsche fired 3,300. Ladouceur tanked for a bit, then made the call.
The 
completed the board, and Ladouceur knuckled again. Nitsche unhappily checked behind. Ladouceur showed 
for a pair of aces, and Nitsche flashed two eights before mucking.
