Juan Pardo raised to 220,000 from under the gun and Andrea Dato three-bet to 500,000 from two seats over. Pardo piled it in with the superior stack and forced a fold from Dato.

One hand later, Pedro Garagnani opened to 210,000 and Pardo came along out of the big blind. The Spaniard check-called for 168,000 on the flop and both then opted to check the turn and river.

Pardo's was good enough to claim the pot, as Garagnani only had .

The following two pots were also sent to Pardo, who all but closed the gap to Jordan "PiePie" Cristos.
