Pardo Doubles Through Levesque

Action folded around the table to Rogelio Pardo on the button who open-shoved all in for a total of 178,000. Carlos Giron folded his small blind, leaving Pardo's fate up to Eric Levesque in the big blind. A solid three minutes passed before Levesque made his decision:

"I don't know why I'm doing this," Levesque said, as he slid a pile of blue chips into the middle, signifying a call.

A moment later, the cards were on their backs:

Levesque: {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Pardo: {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

A {6-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{J-Spades} board ensued giving Pardo a full house and new life in the tournament with 410,000 in chips. Levesque dropped to 780,000 in the loss.

"Donkey call! Donkey call!" yelled one spectator.

"Yeah, it's a donkey call. I agree!" Levesque snapped back.
