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.
