Pardo Runs Into Volkmann's Aces

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The action folded to big stack Juan Pardo on the button who sized up the stacks in the blinds before announcing all in. Daewoong Song burned through two time banks in the small blind before deciding to fold and Bruno Volkmann had a quick decision by snap-calling off his stack of 580,000 in the big blind.

Juan Pardo: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Bruno Volkmann: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Despite being well behind, Pardo flopped plenty of equity with a flush draw on the {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop. However, the {2-Diamonds} and {10-Clubs} bricked out and Volkmann doubled up into the chip lead.

Meanwhile, at the other table, Henrik Hecklen also doubled up with {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} against Pablo Brito Silva's {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. Hecklen flopped a set of eights and held on to leave Brito Silva also on the short stack.

Song and Wakil Keep the Double-Up Streak Going

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Many players are finding themselves around the 10 big blind mark and Daewoong Song was one of them. He shoved all in for 230,000 and was called by Rodrigo Sirichuk in the big blind.

Song tabled {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} which was in a favorable position against the {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} of Sirichuk. The board ran out {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Song improved his position with a double-up.

On the next hand, Bruno Volkmann opened to 40,000 and Jamil Wakil three-bet to 255,000, leaving himself with just 5,000 chips behind which was soon committed after Volkmann announced all in.

The two players were flipped with Wakil holding {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and Volkmann showing {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. The flop of {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades} put Volkmann in the lead as Wakil rose from his seat. The {6-Clubs} on the turn changed nothing but the {j-Spades} on the river was one of the two outs Wakil needed to stay alive.

The {j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop left Sirichuk needing help, and although the {j-Hearts} turn changed nothing, the {10-Clubs} spiked the river to improve Sirichuk to a straight, keeping his tournament life alive.
