Juanda Gone-da

John Juanda had a quick and brutal day here at the L.A. Poker Classic Main Event. It started out, as these things often do, innocently enough with a preflop raise by Juanda to 400. Action folded to Jeff Manthe in the big blind. He called to a flop of {J-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {8-Spades}, where he check-called another bet of 425 from Juanda.

The turn fell {10-Hearts}. Upon seeing that card, Manthe bet into Juanda for 900. Juanda called, bringing the two men to the river {J-Clubs}. Manthe went back into his shell, checking the action to Juanda. He made a huge overbet, moving all in for 8,500. Manthe quickly called.

"You got the straight?" Juanda asked.

"I have a full house," Manthe replied. He showed {J-Spades} {10-Clubs}. Juanda mucked his own hand, collected his things and left the table.
