Pardo and Straver Take Small Ones
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Johannes Straver limped in from the small blind and called when Teun Mulder made it 4,000 from the big blind. Starver check-called for 4,500 on the J♠9♣8♠ flop and then led out for 5,000 on the Q♥ turn. Mulder quickly folded.
On a nearby table, defending champion Juan Pardo made it 2,500 from the hijack and Artsiom Lasouski called from the button. The Q♦6♦5♥ flop checked through to the 7♦ turn. Pardo bet 2,500 and was called. The 3♥ river completed the board and Pardo folded out his opponent after sizing up to 3,500.
