Tim West Advances to Final Table

During the first few hands of Level 7, John Juanda had chipped up and held a 321,000 to 279,000 advantage over Tim West. Then came the following two hands:

Juanda raised to 25,000 from the small blind/button, West reraised all in, and Juanda made the call. Juanda showed {A-Diamonds}

, and West {A-Spades}

. The flop came {10-Hearts}

, and West had a commanding lead. The turn was the {5-Clubs}

and the river the {A-Clubs}

, giving West a boat. West was suddenly up to 579,000 versus Juanda's 21,000.

West had the small blind/button on the next hand, and without checking his cards went ahead and raised to 30,000. Juanda made the call.

West {Q-Spades}

Juanda

The board ran out A-Q-9-3-8, and West's pair of queens gave him the last of Juanda's chips. A remarkable comeback: West had been down as low as 50,000 during heads up play.
