Padula Gets Tricky

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Brandon Padula raised to 12,000 in early position and was called by Michael Stroman in the hijack and Valentin Lita in the cutoff.

Padula continued for 10,000 on the A♠6♣A♣ flop, and only Lita called. Both players then checked the 9♣ turn.

Padula also checked the K♥ river, and Lita checked back. Padula then turned over A♥A♦ for flopped quads, and Lita mucked.
