Pardo Battling Back

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Rui Bouquet opened to 1,300 and got calls in the blinds from Juan Pardo and another player. The duo checked the {8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop to Bouquet who continued for 1,500.

Pardo check-raised to 4,400, the big blind folded, and Bouquet called.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} and Pardo bet enough to put Bouquet all in. He used a time extension before calling with {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a pair and a flush draw.

He was behind the {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} two pair of Pardo, and failed to improve on the {3-Hearts} river and was eliminated.

Pardo now sits on 35,000 after being down as low as 9,000 at one point earlier today.

Bicknell Out Front

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Kristen Bicknell
Kristen Bicknell

Kristen Bicknell took advantage of the late registration option and didn't take her seat until after the first break. However, she has made great use of her time at the table as she has run up the largest stack in the field thus far.

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, Bicknell was facing a bet of 5,500 from her opponent. Bicknell called and the {10-Diamonds} landed on the river. Her opponent checked this time and Bicknell tossed in a bet of 20,000. Her opponent quickly folded and Bicknell added to her stack.

Jacobson's Jacks Hold Up

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Martin Jacobson raised it up to 1,500 in the hijack and was called by the cutoff, Kalidou Sow on the button, and the big blind. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and the action checked to Sow who bet 2,800. Jacobson was the only caller and the {q-Hearts} landed on the turn.

Jacobson checked again and Sow checked it back to see the {2-Hearts} on the river. Jacobson checked once more and Sow quickly knuckled the table as well. Jacobson turned over {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and Sow mucked his cards.
