Domination Rotation for La Padula

Richard Hayes

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

There was 6,000 in front of Giovanni La Padula in early position, and Kostadin Kostadinov had moved all-in for 38,000 from middle position. La Padula took at least two minutes before making the call, Kostadinov slightly covering the Italian.

Giovanni La Padula: A♥K♦ All in
Kostadin Kostadinov: A♠J♠

La Padula had his opponent dominated, but went behind after the J♣5♦2♥ flop.

The 8♥ turn was a brick, but the K♥ river brought salvation for La Padula, shipping him the double-up.
