Pardo Pressures the River
Level 21
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Alex Keating raised to 35,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Juan Pardo in the big blind, who called to see the 
flop.
Keating continued for 40,000 and Pardo check-called to the 
turn, where both players checked to the 
river.
Pardo led out for 240,000, forcing Keating to take some time. Two time banks were used before Keating mucked his hand, asking Pardo to "show the bluff". Pardo smirked and raked in the pot to extend his lead.
