Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Johnson Juanda
Johnson Juanda

Jose Criado raised to 100,000 from the hijack and John Juanda jammed for 415,000 from the big blind. Criado called, hoping to send the Poker Hall of Famer to the rail.

John Juanda: K♥Q♥ All in
Jose Criado: 5♥5♣

Juanda was the shortest stack in the tournament and one of only two remaining players with a chance of winning a second EPT Main Event title.

Juanda picked up a straight draw on the J♠A♥3♠ flop, but wasn't able to improve beyond his king-high after the 9♣6♦ completed the board.

Juanda wished the players good luck as he headed to the rail in 15th place, while Criado's stack climbed to over seven million.

Gerard Carbo
Gerard Carbo

With A♥6♣, Lukas van Eeden raised to 120,000 from the button and Gerard Carbo defended 6♥4♦ from the big blind.

Carbo checked on the 3♦7♥A♦ flop, and Van Eeden continued for 80,000. Carbo check-raised to 280,000, which Van Eeden called.

Carbo placed out a bet of 380,000 on the 4♣ turn, and again Van Eeden called.

The 10♥ came on the river, and Carbo went for the maximum bet possible, shoving and covering Van Eeden.

Van Eeden had 1,490,000 left in his stack and, after thinking it over for a while, folded top pair.

Van Eeden tabled the winner with K♥3♥ for a flush, as Juanda mucked J♠J♥ for a pair of jacks.

Jose Criado raised to 120,000 from middle position, with Gerard Carbo calling on the button. Eduardo Kalil jammed from the big blind for 435,000, with both Criado and Carbo calling.

With Kalil all-in, the dealer fanned the 2♦K♥8♦ flop, where both players checked to see the Q♣ on the turn.

Both checked again, and the 3♦ completed the runout. One more check came from Criado, but Carbo bet 375,000. Criado folded K♣4♣, and the cards were tabled between Carbo and Kalil.

Carbo showed J♦10♦ for a flush to win the pot and bust Kalil in 16th place, as he tabled A♣10♥ for ace-high.

José Criado

Edward Pak raised to 120,000 from early position, with Jose Criado calling from the hijack and John Juanda defending from the big blind.

All three were happy to check the 5♣8♦Q♥ flop, and the J♠ came on the turn. Juanda checked, Pak bet 180,000, and only Criado called, as Juanda folded 9♠8♥.

Pak checked the A♦ river and Criado bet the minimum of 60,000. Pak was curious enough to call with K♣J♥ for a pair of jacks, but he was second best against Criado's Q♦J♣ for two pair.

The 9♦ paired the board, and both players checked to see the 5♠ river. Another two checks followed and Zheng won the pot with A♥J♠ for a rivered flush, beating Ruijs' A♦J♦.
