Forrest Draws Juanda

John Juanda Eliminated
John Juanda Eliminated
We wandered over to a hand between Ted Forrest and John Juanda with the flop showing {8-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}. Forrest bet out 1,400, and Juanda smooth-called.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}, and Forrest bet the full pot, enough to put Juanda all in. Juanda did indeed make the call, showing down {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {4-Spades}. Forrest tabled {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {J-Spades} {9-Diamonds}. Both men had big draws and Juanda needed to hit his to stay alive.

The river did hit his straight when the {10-Hearts} fell, but it hit Forrest harder, giving him the nut flush.

Juanda headed for the rail, while Forrest has taken those chips and worked his stack up to 31,000.
