Pardo Pulls a Big Bluff with Just Ten High
Niveau 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.
