Tomas Doubles Through Pardo
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Juan Pardo opened from under the gun to 50,000, and Joao Tomas in the cutoff three-bet to 150,000. Pardo then moved his stack in front of him for about 1,100,000, putting Tomas to the test for his tournament life. After some thought, Tomas made the call.
Joao Tomas: A♠K♣
Juan Pardo: 8♠8♣
It was a classic flip, with Pardo slightly ahead, but the board ran out 7♣A♣A♦9♣6♠, giving Tomas trip aces and a full double-up.
