Action folded to Orpen Kisacikoglu in the small blind, who shoved all in to put pressure on the table’s short stack, Juan Pardo, in the big blind. Pardo took a glance at his cards and made the call.

Juan Pardo: A♦J♥All in
Orpen Kisacikoglu: K♦9♦

The flop 9♥8♥10♦ gave Kisacikoglu a pair but also plenty of outs for Pardo. The Q♣ turn completed Pardo’s straight, and the 5♦ river changed nothing, allowing Pardo to double up and leaving Kisacikoglu as the new short stack.

Action folded to Juan Pardo in the small blind, who filled up. Alexandros Theologis in the big blind then raised to 75,000, prompting Pardo to shove all in and Theologis to snap-call.

Alexandros Theologis: A♦Q♠All in
Juan Pardo: 5♠5♦

The flop 8♣2♥K♦ looked promising for Pardo, but the Q♣ turn gave Theologis the better pair. The 2♣ river changed nothing, and Theologis scored a double-up, leaving Pardo as a short stack in the tournament.

Heath Takes Advantage

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

First to act, Ben Heath raised to 40,000. Juan Pardo responded with a three-bet to 70,000 from the small blind. When the big blind folded, Heath asked for an estimate of Pardo's remaining stack. Around 1,000,000 was the answer.

Following some consideration, Heath raised to 1,000,000, getting an immediate fold from Pardo.

Pardo then let the table know that he was unaware that Heath had raised, and thought he was raising first in, versus the big blind.
