Daniel Rezaei: AQ

Aleksandr79 had the overpair, although Rezaei could hit almost half the deck to take the lead.

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 943 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: 65 All in
Markkos Ladev: AJ

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.

Anton Sergienko

Yulian Bogdanov raised to 8,500 under the gun and only Anton Sergienko called on the button.

Bogdanov slid out a bet of 9,000 on the 324 flop, and Sergienko raised to 28,000. Bogdanov decided to call.

The 4 fell on the turn, and when it got to Sergienko, he bet 35,000. Again, Bogdanov called.

A final check came from Bogdanov after the 9 peeled off on the river, and Sergienko quickly tossed out a bet of 50,000. Bogdanov went for the most aggressive option, check-raising to 275,000. Sergienko didn't think long before calling.

Bogdanov flipped over 99 for a rivered boat. Sergienko looked to the heavens before showing QQ for an overpair, and the pot of over half a million headed to Bogdanov.
