Sturm Goes For It All
In the final hand of the last level, Leon Sturm raised his button to 33,000 and Juan Pardo responded by three-betting to 90,000 from the button. Sturm made the call and called Pardo's 55,000 bet on the Q♠5♣2♣ flop as well.
Pardo then slowed down and checked the A♠ turn, after which Sturm took the initiative and bet out 85,000. Pardo now was the one that called and the pair saw the J♣ river complete the board.
Pardo checked again and Sturm thought for a while before pushing his stack in the middle, leaving only a single T-1,000 chip behind. Pardo then spent a long time agonized in the tank, but eventually let his hand go, seeing Sturm obtain a strong chip lead over the rest of the field.
