Pardo Picks Off a Bluff to Take Chip Lead
Level 18
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 10♠9♠4♦ and roughly 300,000 in the middle, Juan Pardo checked from out of position and called a 300,000 bet from Vicente Delgado.
On the 10♣ turn Pardo lead out with a bet of 170,000. Delgado made the call.
Pardo bet again on the 4♥ river, this time sizing down to 125,000. Delgado used one time extension before raising to 1,000,000. This time Pardo needed to use a time extension, but shortly afterwards he flicked in the call.
Delgado could only show 8♦7♠ for a missed straight draw turned into a bluff. Pardo tabled A♦9♠ for two pair, tens and nines to take down a colossal pot and the chip lead.
