Rogelio Pardo - 3rd Place

Just one hand after the Eric Levesque elimination, Rogelio Pardo moved all in from first position. Amer Sulaiman folded, but Sol Bergren made the call.

Bergren held {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

and Pardo held {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

. Pardo was all in for 540,000.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

and not much help for Pardo. The turn added some outs when the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

came, giving Pardo a flush draw now. The river was the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

though, not improving Pardo at all and sending him home in 3rd place. He earned over $60,000 for his finish.

We're now guaranteed to have a Canadian champion here at the 2009 PokerStars.net LAPT Playa Conchal.
