Juanda Over 3MM

Action folded to John Juanda in the small blind, and he raised to an unknown amount. Philipp Gruissem called from the big blind, and the flop came down {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{3-Spades}. Juanda fired 150,000, and Gruissem called.

The turn was the {Q-Spades}, and Juanda thought for a minute while Gruissem waited. He then announced that he was all in, a bet worth around 800,000 in chips as hat's what Gruissem had left. Gruissem folded, and Juanda won the pot.

Mike Watson

Philipp Gruissem raised from the button and Mike Watson defended his big blind. The flop came down {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Watson checked to Gruissem. The German pro bet 125,000, and after about a minute Watson moved all in.

The all in was for a total of 695,000 and Gruissem tanked for a very long time before making the call.

Showdown:
Philipp Gruissem: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Mike Watson: {K-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

The board ran out {2-Spades}, {7-Clubs} and Watson doubled up. On the money bubble he was down to just a few big blinds, but right now he's in a very good spot.
