Ladenburg Gets Counterfeited to Bust
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Erik Ladenburg was short-stacked and committed the last of his 5,000 chips before the flop, with William Meeks making the call to try to bust him.
Erik Ladenburg: Q♣9♣3♠2♦ 
William Meeks: K♣K♦6♣2♠
Meeks was ahead with his two kings, but a lot could change with five cards to come. The 9♥4♦A♦ flop gave Ladenburg a pair of nines. Ladenburg improved to two pair on the Q♦ turn, but the A♥ appeared on the river to counterfeit that two pair. Meeks' pocket kings won the pot, and Ladenburg was out.
