We've called Rodney Pardey's name earlier during this 2009 WSOP. He made the final table of the $1,500 Seven-Card Stud event, finshing in second place to champion Jeffrey Lisandro. Pardey is playing well again today -- he's the current chip leader.

Pardey took down a sizable pot from chess master Ivo Donev. By the time we got to the table, the action was at sixth street. Pardey led out with an open pair and Donev called. On the river Pardey led out again.

Donev tanked, and tanked, and tanked some more. He even flashed his hand to our reporter before finally throwing in a call. Donev had started with rolled up fours and never improved; Pardey opened {6-Clubs}
