Padron Wins Three in a Row
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Joey Padron just won three hands in a row to revive his Main Event.
First, Nazar Buhaiov opened the cutoff and Padron shoved from the big blind for 2,400,000. Buhaiov called.
Joey Padron: 10♥10♣ 
Nazar Buhaiov: K♣9♠
Padron never had to sweat as he made a set on the 10♦A♦3♣ flop and then rivered a boat with the 5♣A♥ runout to double up.
He then shoved the next hand from the small blind and the one after from the button, earning folds both times to bring his stack to almost 8,000,000.
