Ladva's Rivered Straight Angers Antonius
Level 24
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Patrik Antonius raised under the gun to 425,000 and Ottomar Ladva defended out of the big blind. The two players saw the 8♥A♣9♣ flop fall, and both checked.
A K♣ dropped on the turn, prompting Ladva to lead out for 800,000. Antonius paused for a few moments, then raised it to 2,100,000. Ladva continued with a call.
The 5♦ arrived on the river, and Ladva burned through a time bank before gathering together a bet of 3,700,000.
Antonius went through seven of his time banks before settling on a call.
Ladva flipped over 7♠6♣ for a rivered straight, prompting Antonius to hammer down his fist on the table in a rare show of emotion, proving he is human.
Ladva climbed past 20,000,000, and Antonius was down to 5,000,000.
