Pardo in the Blender
Level 16
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Pedro Padilha opened to 65,000 from early position. Juan Pardo and Talal Shakerchi called from the blinds.
Pardo led out for 60,000 on the J♥9♣6♣ flop, and only Padilha called. The latter then called a bet of 110,000 on the 7♣ turn. The 6♥ river paired the board and Pardo, who had 495,000 behind, checked. Padilha put Pardo to the test for his tournament life, and the Spaniard agonized over his options, using several time banks before folding.
