Juanda Doubles Opponent

[user67765]

John Juanda raised from under the gun to 8,000 before the cutoff player moved all in for 28,000. Juanda made the call and tabled {6-Clubs}

for the best hand against his opponent's {A-Diamonds}

.

However that changed when the board fell {4-Clubs}

to slide Juanda back to the field with 125,000.

Gill Doubles Up at Cornell's Expense

[user75032]

Carter Gill gets it done against Big Slick.

Carter Gill has moved over the 200,000-chip mark by crippling Tyler Cornell. Gill made it 3,000 preflop before Cornell raised to 11,000. Mark Walsh called Cornell's raise only to see Gill ship it all in when the action came back to him. Cornell made the call. After Walsh folded the hands were opened:

Gill: {7-Clubs}

Cornell:

Gill had two live, suited, semi-connected cards. He paired one on a flop of {5-Spades}

and had it hold up through the {2-Diamonds}

turn and

river. When the stacks were counted down, Cornell had Gill covered by just 8,000 chips.

Gill is now up to about 210,000.

Elton Tsang Eliminated

[user67765]

Elton Tsang fired out a bet of around 9,000 on the flop of {Q-Spades}

before Keith Wintermans popped it up to around 22,000 before Tsang declared he was all in. Wintermans made a crying call as he was drawing with {10-Spades}

for straight and flush draws against Tsang's {A-Spades}

.

The turn was the {10-Clubs}

to give Wintermans even more outs but the {4-Spades}

on the river brought the flush to send a disappointed Tsang to the rail.

Quads Again for Chua; Tahtouh Over and Out

[user75032]

No sooner had we finished the previous post then Emad Tahtouh busted out. He opened for 7,000 from early position. Action folded around to Charles Chua in the big blind, who shoved all in. Tahtouh quickly called and tabled {9-Hearts}

; Chua had {6-Hearts}

.

It was Tahtouh who earlier told Chua that Chua is "a machine" and "a juggernaut," so no surprise that the board ran out {7-Hearts}

to make quad sixes for Chua. Tahtouh didn't even stick around long enough to collect his payout. Presumably he'll come back to get it tomorrow.

Chua now has 360,000.
