Ottomar Ladva, From Standing Out at BSOP to Winning the Onyx High Roller Series Main Event – CodigoPoker

One of the great highlights of the BSOP Millions in November, winner of the SHR 100K, the crack Ottomar Ladva

After the title, Ladva did not hide his satisfaction with the way the final was decided. “I had a lot of luck today. I don’t remember experiencing anything like this at another final table. I kept getting good hands and everything flowed perfectly,” the champion confessed in dialogue with PokerNews.

The coronation, however, had moments of maximum tension. When there were still seven players left in contention, Ladva was one card away from elimination. With -ks-js-, he exchanged raises preflop with Boris Kolev

In the next level, Ladva would get his revenge and eliminate Kolev. On a board K9d-5c-9s-ad-, the Estonian pushed all-in and received the call with -ks-jd-. With A6s-, Ladva hit the flush and took the pot.

Already in the 5-handed, the Estonian was responsible for the exit of the legendary Patrik Antonius

Patrik Antonius

With more than half of the total stack in his possession, the Estonian once again had the help of the deck to add another elimination. He opened the action with K6d- and ended up calling the shove of Kirill Shcherbakov

In the next hand, Ladva found pocket aces again. He defended the big blind and called the open shove of Mikalai Vaskaboinikau
