David Salituro

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Daniel Dvoress had a reraise of 22,000 in front of him from the cutoff and Santhosh Suvarna called in the big blind. Juan Pardo then moved all in for 80,000 in the hijack and Dvoress reshoved for 257,500. Suvarna took nearly a minute before giving up his hand.

Juan Pardo: Q♠Q♣
Daniel Dvoress: 9♦9♥

"Jacks," Suvarna said as Pardo and Dvoress saw the board run out 2♦8♥8♦3♥4♦, giving Pardo a double up with his queens.

"You're the owner of a casino and you fold jacks," Pardo joked with Suvarna.

"I've seen you fold kings," Sergi Reixach told Pardo.

"I'm not the owner of a casino," Pardo replied to a round of laughs from around the table.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sergi Reixach and Juan Pardo were heads up on a board of 9♠7♣A♥9♥. Pardo checked out of the big blind, whereafter Reixach made a bet of 20,000 into the pot of 55,000 chips, from the hijack.

Pardo made the call before the 7♦ river completed the board. He then spent one time bank before leading out for a tiny bet of 9,000 chips.

Reixach did not deem that enough and piled in 67,000 chips, nearly his entire stack. Pardo spent several time banks before tossing in a calling chip, but he could not beat the full house of Reixach, who tabled Q♠9♦.
