John Juanda
John Juanda has been on a rush this morning after already knocking out two opponents during the round of Stud.
"He's won every hand but the first one!" Perry Friedman commented.
"I lost that one on purpose," came the dry reply from Juanda, "I wanted to get a running start!"
Clearly a fan of Stud after he's recent final table in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud event, Juanda only gets eight hands before the game switches here today. He's moved up to 50,000 chips.

Bonomo bet fifth and was called by Marbleu. Marbleu took the lead on sixth with his ace showing and fired a bet. Bonomo made the call and then called on seventh as well after Marbleu bet.
Marbleu turned up a whopper of a hand, (), for a full house and Bonomo mucked. He is down to 15,000 chips.
Mike Watson has taken a nice early pot from David Chiu. We caught the action with the cards being dealt on sixth street with Chiu checking his pair over to Watson who bet. Chiu called, and then check-called on the river. The boards were as follows:
Watson: ()

Watson made three pair but only two count - still enough to beat Chiu as he sighed and mucked his cards. Watson is up to 34,000 with Chiu back to 10,000.
