Juanda Chooses Diamonds for His Ride or Die

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
John Juanda
John Juanda

Joni Jouhkimainen opened for 11,500 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 30,000 from John Juanda in the cutoff. Sylvain Loosli then four-bet to 76,000 from the small blind, Jouhkimainen folded, and Juanda thought for a bit before making the call. When the flop came down {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, Loosli led out for 42,000 and called when Juanda moved all in for approximately 260,000.

Juanda: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Loosli: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Loosli was ahead with his kings, but Juanda was drawing to diamonds, not to mention his ace. The {3-Hearts} turn was no help to the Poker Hall of Famer, and neither was the {8-Spades} river. With that, Juanda has been eliminated from the tournament.
