Padilha Gets There on the River
Level 15
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Pedro Padilha raised to 60,000 in the hijack and Ruben Lopes called in the big blind.
The flop came 9♦2♥8♥ and Padilha bet 65,000. Lopes called, and the 8♣ fell on the turn.
Lopes then led out for 65,000 and Padilha called. The river was the J♣ and Lopes checked to Padilha, who bet 300,000.
Lopes slid in his cards and his winner showdown, and Padilha showed A♥J♠ for a rivered two pair as he took the pot.
