Juanda Gives it Up

In what was a tense, pensive hand with more deliberation than an entire series of "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire," John Juanda and Michael Watson saw a cheap {A-Spades}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop. John Juanda bet out 42,000 and Watson called. Both players then proceeded to check down the {K-Clubs} turn before Juanda check-folded to a bet of 55,000 on the {K-Clubs} river.

Commentators Possibly Heading to the Bar as Watson Dwells

Watson made it 27,000 under the gun and big blind Jetten called.

They both checked the {K-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} flop, but come the {4-Diamonds} turn, Jetten bet out 37,000. Watson called. The river came down the {5-Hearts} and now Jetten bet out 65,000. Watson dwelled up long enough for the EPT Live commentators to attempt to call for the clock and suggest going for a drink instead, but eventually Watson passed and Jetten took the pot.

Don't Mess With Mercier

Mercy me
Mercy me
Jason Mercier did an unusual thing for this final table in that he merely limped in on the small blind. Juanda raised to 37,000, and again Mercier merely called.

They saw a {9-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} flop, which Mercier checked. Juanda tried another 40,000, but Mercier check-raised all in for 267,000. An instantaneous fold from Juanda.

Scotty Nguyen Doubles Through Peter Jetten

Go for the Nguyen, baby!
Go for the Nguyen, baby!
Like Captain Hook, Scotty Nguyen was desperate for a hand. UTG with the 12,000 blind about to hit him, he will have been delighted to find {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and swiftly pushed his stack of 75,000 across the line.

Although his previous shoves had gone through, this one didn't, Peter Jetten opting to announce all in from the small blind with {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

A {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop looking ominous for Nguyen, but the {K-Clubs} pried out the Nguyen smile, and a {Q-Hearts} river confirmed the win.

Nguyen now on over 150,000 and like Michael Jackson in the '80s, is "dangerous".
