Knecht Ends Juanda's Main Event

John Juanda - Eliminated
John Juanda - Eliminated

Kyle Knecht opened to 28,000 from under the gun and it folded all the way around to John Juanda's big blind. Juanda announced that he was all in and Knecht announced a call immediately as the words escaped Juanda's mouth.

Juanda: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Knecht: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

Juanda was all in for his last 200,000 and in need of help. The flop was {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and the turn the {3-Clubs}. Juanda stood up before the river was dealt and made his exit from the table once he saw the {5-Diamonds} brick on the river. By eliminating Juanda, Knecht's stack is now sitting at roughly 920,000.
