Juan Pardo raised to 2,500 from under the gun and picked up two callers before Vitezslav Cech three-bet to 12,500 from the big blind. Pardo moved all in for 20,000 and only Cech made the call, putting Pardo at risk as the players flipped their cards.
Juan Pardo: 8♣8♥
Vitezslav Cech: A♦Q♦
The board ran out 5♥4♣J♣7♥9♠. Pardo held with his pocket eights to win the pot and bring his stack up to around 50,000.
Level: 9
Blinds: 600/1,200

The 394 remaining players have been sent on their final 20-minute break of the day.
Niklas Astedt raised to 2,500 from early position and Vito Giuseppe Vella called in middle position along with Jorge Rios on the button.
Astedt fired the flop of 5♦K♣9♠ for 2,500 and both Vella and Rios folded.
Nils Pudel raised to 2,200 from the button and Max Gruvaeus reraised to 7,700 from the big blind, which Pudel called.
The flop came J♦6♣8♦. Gruvaeus bet 4,100 and Pudel called. The turn was the 2♣ and both players checked.
The river came the 7♥. Gruvaeus bet 4,600 and Pudel moved all in for 29,600. Gruvaeus went into the tank and then flicked in a chip to call.
Pudel showed K♦J♠ for a pair jacks and Gruvaeus mucked his hand. Pudel doubled up his stack.
In a pot worth 35,500 chips, Ryan Plant made a bet of 14,100 on the 3♦A♠10♣2♣ board from the small blind. Eros Calderone then jammed all in from the button, covering Plant's stack of 38,100. Plant let out a big sigh, but stuck in the call to put his Main Event at risk.
Ryan Plant: A♥2♥
Eros Calderone: 9♥8♥
Calderone got it in with pure air and had no outs left to hit to beat the two pair of Plant. The river fell the inconsequential 4♠ and Plant raked in a big double up.
"Lucky turn," Calderone repeated to Plant a couple of times, to which Plant could only shrug his shoulders.
After Thomas Clack eliminated Fehmi Hajdari, he opened to 2,200 from the cutoff. Then Joaquim Coutinho decided to raise all in for 6,700 from the small blind. But Simon Wiciak to his left wanted more, so he four-bet to 11,500 and made Clack fold.
Joaquim Coutinho: 5♥5♣
Simon Wiciak: K♥Q♣
On a board of 9♦K♦A♣8♣Q♥, a king landed on the flop and a queen on the river to give two pair to Wiciak and eliminate Coutinho.
Tamas Adamszki opened the button to 2,300 and Dimitar Danchev defended the big blind.
The flop came K♠3♥9♥ which Danchev checked to the raiser.
Adamaszki fired a bet for 3,500 which scooped him the pot.
