Ladva Can't Shake Off Kulev
Level 3
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Alex Kulev raised from the cutoff and Ottomar Ladva defended from the big blind.
Ladva knuckled it over to Kulev on the 9♦2♠J♦ flop and Kulev slid out a bet of 12,000. After a few moments, Ladva check-raised to 65,000, which Kulev called.
Ladva didn't slow down on the 2♦ turn, as he chose to bet 60,000. Again, Kulev called.
The 9♠ dropped on the river and both players checked. Ladva showed a bluff with K♦10♥ and lost the pot to Kulev's Q♠J♣ for a pair of jacks.
