River Turns the Tide
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Seeing a raise to 12,000 ahead of him, Juan Pardo three-bet to 36,000. A couple of seats to his left, in the cutoff, Maria Koutsouki moved all in for slightly less than the raise, 32,000. The original raiser folded, and the cards were revealed.
Maria Koutsouki: 8♠8♣ 
Juan Pardo: A♠J♣
The flop 5♥9♣5♠ and turn Q♥ were safe for Koutsouki, but the river J♠ saw Pardo improve to a better pair.
The pot was pushed in Pardo's direction as Koutsouki said her goodbyes to the table.
