Ladev Picks Up Kings to Double
Level 16
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Emilien Pitavy raised to 240,000 in the hijack before Markkos Ladev three-bet to 600,000 on the button. Pitavy then moved all in, and Ladev snap-called for 2,060,000.
Markkos Ladev: K♠K♣ 
Emilien Pitavy: K♦Q♦
Pitavy picked up some outs on the Q♥J♦8♣ flop with top pair, but Ladev found the last king in the deck on the K♠ turn to make top set. The river was the 8♥ and Ladev improved to a full house to secure the double up.
