Markkos Ladev opened to 16,000 from early position. Derk van Luijk to his left three-bet to 40,000, then all the other players folded to Ladev who called.
The dealer fanned a flop of 7♠5♣2♠ and Van Luijk continued for 55,000. Ladev check-raised all-in and Van Luijk snap-called, finding himself at risk for 207,000.
Derk van Luijk: A♣A♥ 
Markkos Ladev: K♠Q♠
Ladev had a flush draw, but the Q♣9♣ runout didn't complete his flush so Van Luijk secured a double up.
