Ladev Folds to MacDonald's Pressure
Level 2
: Blinds 4,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Tom MacDonald raised from the cutoff before his neighbor on the button, Markkos Ladev, made it 52,000 to go. MacDonald four-bet to 170,000, and Ladev continued with a call.
With 350,000 in the pot already, the two pros saw the dealer put out a flop of 8♣9♣2♣. MacDonald bet 75,000, which Ladev called.
The board-pairing 9♦ dropped on the turn, and MacDonald put out a second barrel of 160,000. This was enough to get Ladev to fold, and MacDonald earned the pot.
