Juanda Just Fine

John Juanda has had an up-and-down Day 3, but appears to have evened out here as the final level plays out after having chipped up to an above average stack.

Just now the five-time bracelet winner was involved in a hand in which a player limped in from under the gun, then Juanda raised to 13,500 behind him. It folded around, Juanda's opponent called, and the flop came {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Juanda's opponent checked, he bet 21,500, and the UTG player called. Both players then checked after the turn brought the {Q-Diamonds}.

The river was the {2-Diamonds}. Juanda's opponent checked once more, and Juanda bet 35,000, getting one more call. Juanda turned over {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for tens and fours, and his opponent mucked.
