Pardo Calls O'Dwyer's River Bet to Win Huge Pot
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer raised to 5,000 from late position and Juan Pardo three-bet to 25,000 from the small blind, which O'Dwyer called.
The flop came J♣5♠7♠. Pardo made a continuation bet of 23,500 and O'Dwyer raised it up to 62,000, which Pardo called. The turn was the 2♠ and both players checked.
The river was the 7♦. Pardo checked and O'Dwyer sized up to 175,000. Pardo made the call. O'Dwyer quickly mucked his hand, suggesting he was running a bluff. Pardo did the same as he scooped over a huge pot that brought his stack well over the 500,000 mark.
