Pardo Literally has a Chip and a Chair
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jorge Pardo had become incredibly shot-stacked with just 200 remaining. He put them across the line from the cutoff, and Kevin Fluegel shoved from the button for 15,000. Paul Runcan was going bounty hunting from the big blind as he made the call to put both at risk.
Jorge Pardo: A♠J♦ 
Kevin Fluegel: A♦6♥
Paul Runcan: Q♦6♣
There was no help for Runcan on the A♥4♣J♥J♠8♥ runout, and he would have to wait until the next hand to go bounty hunting. Pardo hit a boat and moved up to a stack of 1,000, and Fluegel doubled up through Runcan.
