Ding's Set Goes Down to Ladev's Wheel
Nivel 9
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Biao Ding raised to 6,000 from middle position with Damir Zhugralin calling from the small blind and Markkos Ladev defending his big blind.
All three players checked the 9♠5♦2♠ flop to see the 3♥ come on the turn. Zhugralin led out for 12,500 which Ladev called before Ding raised to 40,000. Zhugralin folded but Ladev called.
Ladev checked the Q♠ river and Ding shoved for roughly 140,000. Ladev pondered for a moment, then made the call.
Ding showed 9♥9♦ for a set of nines on the flop, but to his surprise, he was second best to the A♥4♦ of Ladev for a turned straight.
