Ladev Punished For Correct Call

Level 7 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Markkos Ladev
Markkos Ladev

With around 90,000 in the pot, Markkos Ladev bet 30,000 from the small blind on the 9♦4♦3♠ flop, and Aleksandr Chernikov instantly shoved for 187,500 on the button. Ladev didn't act immediately; instead, he got an exact count from the dealer and then placed the call.

Aleksandr Chernikov: 6♥5♥ All in
Markkos Ladev: A♦J♣

Ladev came to the right decision with ace-high, although he had to fade a lot of outs to bust Chernikov.

The 7♥ rolled off on the turn to give Chernikov the nuts, and left Ladev drawing dead.

A 10♠ on the river was just a necessity and Ladev had to send a bunch of his stack over to Chernikov.
