Ladev Bests Mateos in Three-Bet Pot
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Markkos Ladev had opened from the button and Adrian Mateos three-bet from the big blind. Ladev called, creating a 380,000 chip pot. The flop was then dealt Q♣4♠4♦ and Maetos bet 105,000 chips. Ladev made the call and the 8♥ turn was checked by both players.
Both players knuckled the table on the K♥ river as well, and Mateos showed his J♠J♥ for a pair of jacks. However, Ladev played one pair higher with his A♣Q♦ for a pair of queens, and raked in another pot.
