Ladva Left Short, Then Doubles
Jean-Robert Bellande bet 100,000 from middle position on a flop of 9♣A♥4♣ and Ottomar Ladva called in the hijack, while Justus Held, who had assembled an elaborate structure out of his time bank cards that was so sturdy he was able to rest his chips on top of it, folded on the button.
Bellande then bet another 325,000 on the 4♥ turn and Ladva again called. The river was the J♠ and Bellande bet 425,000. Ladva called once more, and Bellande showed A♣9♥ for two pair to win the pot.
"I can see you've been card dead for a while," Daniel Rezaei joked with Held.
Sinan Unlu then raised to 80,000 under the gun and Adrian Mateos called on the button. Ladva moved all in for 345,000 in the big blind, Unlu reshoved, and Mateos got out of the way.
Ottomar Ladva: J♦J♣ 
Sinan Unlu: A♣K♠
Ladva hit top set on the J♥8♦2♠ flop, then improved to a full house on the 2♣ turn. The river was the 5♠ and he doubled up.
