Pardo Takes a Bite Out of Mokri; Danchev Doubles Off Astedt
Level 6
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
A massive pile of chips was already in the middle as Kayhan Mokri and Juan Pardo went to the river on a board of 2♠3♣3♠K♠9♦. Pardo then bet 125,000 in the big blind.
Mokri called on the button and Pardo showed Q♠3♦ for trips. "I guess I had to jinx it, huh," Mokri said as he mucked.
At the same time at the other table, Dimitar Danchev bet 50,000 from the big blind on a board of 8♥7♥3♣6♣ before Niklas Astedt moved all in from the button. Danchev quickly called for his last 158,000.
Astedt had 10♥6♥ for a pair and flush draw, while Danchev had 8♣7♦ for two pair. The river was the Q♠ and Danchev doubled up.
Laszlo Bujtas fired his third bullet in the tournament and took his seat between Astedt and Danchev.
