Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Markkos Ladev raised his small blind to 85,000 and was called by Mike Watson in the big blind. The flop fell 7?A?8? and saw Ladev continue for 50,000. Watson called to the 8? turn, which was checked by his opponent.
Watson then fired 150,000, enough to let Ladev fold and take a more prominent lead.
