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.
