Juanda Picks One Off

A player under the gun raises to 1,000, and John Juanda reraises, making it 3,000 to go. The next player to act moves all in for his last 1,900, and the original raiser folds, so it's Juanda heads up with an at-risk player. The hands are turned over:

Juanda: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
Opponent: {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

The flop fails to save the player from elimination, as it runs out {8-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {3-Hearts} {A-Spades} {6-Spades}, holding up Juanda's kings. After the hand, he has chipped up to 9,000.
