Eric Assadourian has the button in seat 6. First to act, John Juanda makes it 8,500 to go and the action is folded around to David Paul Steicke who makes the call from the big blind.

The flop comes {2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Spades} and Steicke checks to Juanda who leads out with a 10,500 bet. Steicke then cuts 21,000 worth of chips from his stack and pushes them across the betting line, announcing "raise," prompting Juanda to lay down his hand.

Player Profiles - John Juanda

Seat 1: John Juanda, USA:

Born in Indonesia of Chinese descent, this 36-year-old is rightly considered among one of the greatest players of all-time. Part of a generation of young guns that emerged in the mid-1990s (together with Allen Cunningham, Layne Flack, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey and Kirk Morrison), his tournament earnings are nudging $US7 million.

Highlights of his career include the 2001 World Poker Open, three WSOP bracelets ($1500 Triple Draw Lowball Ace-to-Five in 2002; plus the $2500 Pot Limit Omaha and $2500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo Split in 2003). He has made six WPT final tables without winning a title, but collected the inaugural Professional Poker Tour title at Foxwoods in 2004. He also pocketed $1m when he won the Speed Poker title at the 2006 Aussie Millions. Juanda has rarely been out of the top-five in chips throughout this $15,000 APPT Macau High Roller Event.
