Vamplew Fights Back

John Juanda raised to 400,000 on the button and David Vamplew called. The {8-Clubs} {2-Spades} {7-Clubs} saw a quick check from Vamplew, a 600,000 bet from Juanda followed bya check-raise to 1.675 million from Vamplew. Juanda folded pretty quickly.

Vamplew continues to come back, he's up about 8.35 million, Juanda has 16.1 million

Vamplew Doubles Again; Stacks Even

John Juanda min-raised his button and David Vamplew called. As is traditional, they saw a flop.

Flop: {q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Vamplew checked. Juanda checked behind. Everyone got to see a turn card.

Turn: {j-Clubs}

This time Vamplew bet out 625,000. Over to Juanda, who disappeared into the tank. While he was in there, he counted out the call. But then he reached for more green T100k chips. He tanked some more... and when he came out of the tank, he raised to 1.85 million.

Vamplew went all in.

And Juanda called.

Juanda: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} for a Broadway straight
Vamplew: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a flush draw, with three outs to a chop as well

River: {3-Clubs} bringing in Vamplew's flush

That, as everyone on the live feed and in the press room commented, is sick.

1st & 3rd Blood to Vamplew

First two hands back, David Vamplew and John Juanda took turns min-raising the button. Both times the player in the big blind folded.

Third hand, though, Juanda called Vamplew's button raise but checked the {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop. Vamplew bet another 775,000, and it was enough to make Juanda fold.

Still Sparring

David Vamplew min-raised to 600,000 and John Juanda made it 1,800,000 out of the big blind to win it.

Next hand, Juanda made it 600,000 from the button and Vamplew called before check-calling 900,000 on the {K-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} flop. Both players then checked the {3-Clubs} turn and {A-Hearts} river. Juanda showed Queen-high and Vamplew took it down with {A-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}

Back to Juanda

John Juanda min-raised his button and David Vamplew called, but both checked the {3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{q-Spades} flop. Vamplew bet out 675,000 on the {10-Spades} turn and although he looked for a while as though he might raise, Juanda just called.

They reached the {4-Spades} river and this time Vamplew reverted to checking. Juanda, now beginning to look just a little bit tired - they both do - tanked up for a while and then bet around 2 million.

Vamplew folded instantly, and Juanda picked up the pot.

Juanda Has Enough Heart...

John Juanda minraised one again and David Vamplew made the call.

The flop was an all-red {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {5-Hearts}, Vamplew checked and Juanda obliged with a 900,000 bet which Vamplew called.

The {K-Hearts} brought a four-flush which was checked by both players giving a {10-Hearts} river and a 3 million chip pot. Vamplew checked a third time and Juanda bet 1.45 million, Vamplew gurned for a while and looked disinterested then folded.

We could be here a while yet.

Juanda Moves Ahead Again

David Vamplew was on the button, and he raised to the minimum, 600,000. John Juanda called.

They both checked the {3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop and proceeded directly to the {q-Spades} turn, when Juanda bet out 900,000. Vamplew called, and they were granted a river card.

The river was the {10-Spades} and Juanda now bet out 1.5 million. Over to Vamplew, who gaev it some thought. Vamplew looked like a man defeated, huffing and puffing and scratching his face, but eventually he tossed in the call.

Juanda showed him a queen for top pair, and Vamplew mucked his hand.
