Pardo Pulls a Big Bluff with Just Ten High
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Byron Kaverman raised to 225,000 from the cutoff with A?8? and Juan Pardo defended in the big blind with 10?9?.
The 4?J?Q? flop checked through to the J? on the turn. Pardo placed a sizable bet of 390,000 with his open-ended straight draw, and Kaverman elected to see the river.
The A? fell and Pardo used two time banks before placing a bet of 1,075,000, a virtual all-in with just 30,000 behind.
Kaverman, with his marginal top pair, remained in the tank, burning through nine time banks before making a frustrated fold. Pardo's ten-high bluff got through, winning him a big pot.
