Padovani Takes the Lead on the Last Hand
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Day 1b chip leader Ruben Padovani opened from the cutoff, then called after Jose De Andrade three-bet from the button.
The dealer fanned a flop of 2?8?2?. Padovani checked, De Andrade continued for 75,000, but Padovani check-raised to 183,000. However De Andrade wasn't done yet and he three-bet to 375,000. Padovani called.
Both players checked the 4? turn leading to the 5? river where Padovani led out for 500,000. De Andrade went deep into the tank, but eventually folded what he said was JxJx.
