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

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.
