Greenwood Takes from Ladev
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Sam Greenwood opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and was called by Nick Petrangelo in the small blind and Markkos Ladev in the big blind.
On the 8♠6♠4♥ flop, Ladev led from the big blind for 2,000 and both opponents called.
The turn brought the 9♣. Ladev sized up to 20,000 as he led again. This time only Greenwood called while Petrangelo snap-folded.
The Q♣ river quickly checked through.
Markkos Ladev: 7♥6♣
Sam Greenwood: A♠9♠
Greenwood turned top pair which became second pair on the river, which was good enough to drag a sizeable pot early in the tournament.
