This is the third time that Juanda has had this kind of big chip lead - but given Vamplew's excellent record at doubling back up from a short stack, we could still be here for a while.

David Vamplew raised to 600,000 and John Juanda called and led out for 800,000 on the 
flop. Vamplew responded to this by making it 2.15 million and Juanda quickly folded.
Juanda - 14.46 million
Vamplew - 10.7 million
Another min-raise from the button - John Juanda's button this time - and another call from David Vamplew in the big blind.
Both checked the 
flop and Juanda called when Vamplew bet out 775,000 on the 
turn. Vamplew bet out again on the 
river, this time to the tune of 1.95 million. Juanda tanked for a while and in fact counted out the call, fingering the stack of chips most salaciously - but eventually he folded, and the stacks are virtually even once again.
David Vamplew opened to 600,000 and John Juanda made it 1,800,000 from the big blind. Vamplew thought for about a minute and then pushed all-in, Juanda instantly folded.
The next hand Juanda opened to 600,000 and Vamplew made it 1,800,000 from the big blind for a rare 3-bet. Juanda folded again.
John Juanda min-raised from the button for perhaps the millionth time (it's easy to lose track, here in the press room) - but this time David Vamplew just shoved for around 15 million!
Somewhat unsurprisingly, Juanda folded.
David Vamplew raised to 600,000 and John Juanda put in the obligatory call. THe flop came 
and Juanda checked, Vamplew bet 725,000 and that was enough to win another pot for the Scot. He's really turned the momentum round this level.
John Juanda min-raised the button - at this stage we could probably just say "Juanda had the button" and you could take it as read that he min-raised - and David Vamplew called. Here comes the flop.
Flop: 
Vamplew checked, and then called Juanda's 800,000 bet.
Turn: 
Vamplew checked again and this time Juanda checked behind.
River: 
Vamplew now bet out more than 2 million, and Juanda swiftly tossed his hand back to the dealer.
It's Vamplew with the convincing lead now - 18.125 million to Juanda's 7.035 million.

David Vamplew raised the button (the minimum 600,000 again, obviously) and John Juanda called to see a the 
flop. He checked it and Vamplew bet 775,000, but Juanda now check-raised to 1.8 million, around a third of his remaining stack.
Vamplew thought about it for only a few seconds before announcing all in.
Juanda looked briefly perplexed, but his face quickly melted into amusement as he folded.
Juanda's down to just 3.4 million now.
The last hand of the level saw John Juanda move all-in for about 3.4 million chips. David Vamplew checked his cards, took a deep breath and made the most important call of his life.
John Juanda: 
David Vamplew: 
The board came 
. Vamplew had been all-in twice, both times with the worst hand and he managed two lucky double-ups to escape. This last level saw a complete turn around in the heads-up battle. Whatever Vamplew did or decided to do at the last break clearly managed to work as this level was mainly as one-sided as it was for Juanda earlier.
John Juanda with his four bracelets previously has had a lot of great results here in London, this is another, but the money won't be much comfort to the man who only wished to take home the title. Still, £545,000 will soften the blow a little
