Ladev Gets Flushed Out of Birizdo
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Markkos Ladev raised to 50,000 in middle position with Adrian State calling on the button, and Istvan Birizdo calling out of the small blind.
After Birizdo checked the 3♣4♣5♥ flop, Ladev jammed for 300,000. State folded, but Birizdo called for around half his stack.
Markkos Ladev: Q♣Q♦ 
Istvan Birizdo: K♣J♣
Ladev had pocket queens against the flush draw and overcard of Birizdo.
The 10♦ turn was safe for Ladev, but the 5♣ rolled off on the river to complete Birizdo's flush.
Ladev hit the showers, and Birizdo's stack climbed to almost a million.
