A Game of Concentration

John Juanda, the thinker
John Juanda, the thinker

John Juanda raised to 72,000 from the small blind, and when George Danzer called from the big blind, his fans reacted with a little bit of pre-celebration sounding noise.

Both players drew one card. Juanda looked as his cards, then asked "What was the draw?" He was referring to having missed how many Danzer had requested. We didn't hear whether he got an answer, though it appeared he did.

Both players ended up checking, Juanda showed {Q-}{10-}{8-}{6-}{3-}, and Danzer mucked. Juanda explained to Danzer afterwards that he only asked because he had been distracted by the cheering, and all seem satisfied.

Except Danzer's fans, of course, who had to postpone their next celebration.

Juanda seems to be concentrating just fine, generally speaking. Slowly but surely, Juanda has accumulated chips over the last few orbits to move up to 625,000. Danzer is still the leader with 825,000.
