Pardo Bets Big on River
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Amerigo Santoro in the hijack and Rafael Pardo on the button were heads up on a flop of K♦Q♠7♦. Santoro checked to Pardo, who bet 1,500. Santoro called to the 3♣ turn, where he check-called again, this time for 3,800.
The 8♦ river then completed the board and saw Santoro check for a third time, after which Pardo piled in a bet of 11,000.
Santoro took some time but ultimately stuck in a call. Pardo tabled 6♦5♦ for a rivered flush, taking down the big pot to get above the starting stack.
