Hand #400 - Stanislav Alekhin

...I never thought I'd write such a title at a final table, but I guess there's a first time for everything. Alas, here's hand number 400:

Stanislav Alekhin has the button and makes it 155,000, effectively stealing John Juanda's big blind.

Stunning!

Hand #399 - John Juanda Doubles Up

John Juanda has the button. He raises to 150,000, Alekhin moves all in and Juanda calls.

Juanda {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}

Alekhin {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}

The flop is {J-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {4-Spades}, and Alekhin pairs his jack. Juanda needs an ace, a king or running straight cards to survive. And that's exactly what he gets when the {Q-Hearts} lands on the turn and the {10-Clubs} falls on the river. Juanda doubles up to 1.78 million, and we're off to our four hundretdh hand...

Hand #398 - John Juanda

Stanislav Alekhin has the button and limps into the pot. John Juanda checks his option and the flop comes {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}.

Both players check the flop and the {Q-Diamonds} falls on the turn. Juanda quickly checks and Alekhin checks behind, bringing us to the river: {9-Hearts}.

Juanda counts out a 150,000 bet and slides it into the middle on the river and Alekhin folds.

Alekhin's pair of tens beats Juanda's pair of sevens and he takes it down.
