J.C. Tran and John Juanda were sitting at tables adjacent to one another and noticed they were both employing the services of the Rio's massage girls. In an effort to jazz things up, they made a last longer bet that required the loser to pay for the other's massage.

Moments ago, J.C. was eliminated from the tournament and paid $170 for his own massage, before asking Juanda's masseuse to calculate how much John's massage would cost, were it to continue to the dinner break. The answer? $430.

Juanda currently has about 12,700 in chips, and looks quite pleased to be reaping the benefits.
