State Stacks Paduano

Patrick Cole

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up with Adrian State all in and risk versus the covering stack of Arturo Paduano. State had a stack of roughly 40,000.

Adrian State: 6?6? All in
Arturo Paduano: A?10?

State slid a small toy car into the middle of the felt before the dealer fanned out the 10?K?6? flop, which provided State with middle set. The A? turn gave Paduano some hope but he couldn't boat up on the 2? river.

The next hand, State and Paduano were all in again. This time Paduano was at risk.

Arturo Paduano: A?Q? All in
Adrian State: A?K?

State had Paduano pipped, and he didn't deploy his toy car into the pot this time. It wasn't needed as his superior ace held across the 6?4?J?8?8? runout to secure the rest of Paduano's stack, which was roughly 13,000.
