Ladev Wins a Battle of the Blinds

Tim Baker

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Sam Grafton called from the small blind and Markkos Ladev raised to 8,500 from the big blind. Grafton made the call.

Both players checked the A♠3♣4♦ flop for the K♣ to come on the turn. Grafton led out for 5,500 and Ladev called.

The J♥ dropped on the river and Grafton bet 11,000. Ladev raised to 75,000 and got a quick fold from Grafton.
