Pardo and Kulev Risk It All

Level 1 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Juan Pardo
Juan Pardo

Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 2,500 from under the gun and was called by Alex Kulev on his left. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Thorel continued with a bet of 6,000. Kulev called and the {k-Clubs} rolled off on the turn.

Thorel fired out another 6,000 and Kulev raised to 19,000 this time. Thorel called and the {4-Hearts} landed on the river. Thorel checked this time and Kulev jammed all in for 36,000. Thorel quickly called and Kulev turned over {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for a set of deuces to beat Thorel's {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}.

On the other table, Juan Pardo and Mike Watson were heads-up in the blinds on a board reading {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Watson bet 10,000 on the turn and Pardo check-raised to 30,000 which Watson called.

The river brought the {5-Diamonds} and Pardo thought for a moment before shoving all in for 54,000. Watson gave it some thought but decided to lay his hand down.
