Rodney Herm "Rod" Pardey (May 5, 1945 – August 1, 2020) was an American poker player. Pardey was the father of singer/songwriter and former tour manager of The Killers, Ryan Pardey, as well as professional poker player and singer/songwriter Rodney E. Pardey.
Career
In Las Vegas, Pardey primarily played seven-card stud. In the late 1970s David Sklansky ranked Pardey the number one seven-card stud player in the world. By the end of the 1970s, Pardey was regularly playing as high as $1,000-$2,000. When hold'em became popular in the 1980s, Pardey expressed his trouble in adjusting. In May 1995, Pardey played regularly in Los Angeles, California.
His career tournament poker winnings exceed $725,000.[1] He won two World Series of Poker championships, as well as finishing second in the 2015 "Super Seniors" no limit hold'em event.
