Jacks for Juanda

On the last hand of the level, John Juanda pushed all in from the button for a total of 3,775 and received a call from Markus Ristola in the big blind. Although claiming to have played the hand blind, Juanda flipped over {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}, whilst Ristola could only muster {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

"Wow, you got some outs," observed an astute Juanda as the flop came {7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop. The {3-Diamonds} turn is close but no cigar, and although the {2-Spades} offered the illusion of some sort of straight being out there, the knaves stood firm and Juanda earned his double through.
