Juanda Escapes via Runner Runner
Level 12
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Peter Chan opened to 26,000 from the button and John Juanda pushed from the small blind. Chan asked for a count and the shove was for 196,000, which Chan called.
John Juanda: 
Peter Chan: 
The flop of 
was bad news for Juanda, as Chan had found the nut straight. Then, the 
turn made things spicy again as a queen or king would give Juanda a full house. It was the 
on the river that ensured a split pot and Chan smiled and said "I feared the king, so it could have been worse."
There are still 17 players remaining, a redraw will take place after the next elimination. The other short stack is Yu Liang with a similar stack as Juanda, same applies for Jack Salter at the same table.
