Pardo Wins First Big Pot of Heads-Up Play
Level 20
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Vicente Delgado limped his button and Juan Pardo checked the big blind. On the 7?K?9? flop, Pardo checked and Delgado bet the minimum of 80,000. Pardo called and the 8? turn fell.
Pardo checked again and Delgado now opted for a big bet of 300,000 chips. It did not deter Pardo from calling, however, as he did just so.
Pardo checked a final time on the 4? river, and Delgado piled in a pile of chips worth 800,000. Pardo made a swift call and Delgado could show nothing but J?2? for a failed bluff with jack-high. Meanwhile, Pardo was sitting on top pair with K?3? and raked in the first significant pot of the heads-up battle.
