Santern Hero Calls
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Markkos Ladev opened from under the gun, but saw Thomas Santerne in the big blind three-bet to 100,000. Ladev made the call.
Both players checked the 3♣Q♦2♦ flop leading to the 4♥ turn where Santerne bet 110,000. Ladev called.
The J♦ river landed on the felt and Santerne needed extra time to check. Ladev took this opportunity bet 250,000, more than Santerne's 231,000-chip stack.
The French player went deep into the tank, but after he used his last two time bank cards, he called.
Thomas Santerne: Q♥7♣ 
Markkos Ladev: A♠10♦
Santerne called with top pair and caught Ladev with only ace-high, so he doubled up.
