LuckBoxJuanda Doubles

Shahriar Assareh opened the betting with a raise to 25,000 from middle position. John Juanda replied by moving all in 71,000 from the button and Assareh called.

Assareh: {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Juanda: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The flop brought good news for Juanda, as it paired his queen with {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. The turn was the {4-Hearts} and Juanda would need to dodge an ace on the river to double up.

The dealer produced the {7-Clubs} on the river, ensuring Juanda's double up. He's now sitting on a stack of about 178,000.
