The heads-up duel between Gerard Piqué and Juan Pardo lasted all but a few moments and it was a flip that decided over the outcome of the tournament with the chips in the middle preflop.

Gerard Piqué: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Juan Pardo: {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

The mighty ducks were marginally ahead on the {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop and Piqué even picked up a flush draw on the {3-Hearts} turn. However, it wasn't meant to be as the {k-Spades} river came a blank to eliminate the FC Barcelona defender in 2nd place for €352,950.

For Pardo, it is yet another success in a High Roller tournament and the biggest score of his live poker exploits thus far.
