Hand #399 - John Juanda Doubles Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

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

Juanda {A-Spades}

Alekhin

The flop is {J-Clubs}

, 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...

...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 #406 - John Juanda Doubles Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Stanislav Alekhin has the button and raises to 150,000. John Juanda makes the call and we see a {A-Diamonds}

flop.

The flop is checked by both and the {2-Diamonds}

lands on the turn. Juanda opens with a 275,000 bet and Alekhin quickly calls.

The {10-Spades}

falls on fifth street and Juanda fires the big guns, blasting a 475,000 bet. Alekhin wastes no time announcing he's "All in," and Juanda immediately stands up out of his chair.

"Alright, I call" says Juanda and Alekhin sheepishly turns over the {Q-Diamonds}
