Kurganov Takes from Juanda; Muehloecker From Chidwick

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

John Juanda defended his big blind to a raise by Igor Kurganov and the duo headed to the flop of {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. "Are you trying to tell me you don't have king-jack?" Kurganov asked but received no reaction. Juanda checked and called a bet of 13,000 before the {4-Hearts} turn was checked. On the {2-Diamonds} river, Juanda bet 32,000 and Kurganov quickly called.

Juanda was caught bluffing with the {A-Spades}{7-Hearts} while Kurganov claimed the pot with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

Over on the other table, Thomas Muehloecker opened to 27,000 and Stephen Chidwick called from two seats over in the hijack. Both checked through a flop of {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Muehloecker bet the {K-Diamonds} turn for 38,000, Chidwick called. After the {Q-Diamonds} river, Muehloecker used one time bank extension before betting 72,000 and Chidwick called.

Muehloecker rolled over the {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for bottom set and that won the pot.
