From the button, John Juanda shoved for 660,000. Small blind Oliver Weis shoved over the top for 1,450,000 and big blind Steve O'Dwyer called to put them both at risk.

Steve O'Dwyer: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
John Juanda: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Oliver Weis: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, doing nothing for anyone. The {J-Clubs} on the turn, however, sure made a difference. The {Q-Spades} on the river was all Juanda and, while filming, he cheered.
