Pardo on the Rise

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 350 ante
Juan Pardo Dominguez
Juan Pardo Dominguez

Juan Pardo was down to 33K that he got in second to act over an under-the-gun open from Sami Kelopuro. Isaac Haxton called on his left, and everyone else folded. Haxton flopped well with his {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} as {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Hearts} hit, leaving Pardo's {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} in rough shape. However, the {10-Spades} turn improved him to a straight.

Haxton still had a ton of outs but missed on the {2-Diamonds} river.

A couple of hands later, Pardo shoved all in from the big blind for about 80K over a button open by Michael Addamo. The Aussie called with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and Pardo was again flipping, this time on the pair: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Addamo flopped some additional equity on {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} but improved no further.
