Juanda Eliminated

[user67765]

John Juanda

John Juanda was crippled after calling an all in bet on a flop of {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

against a short-stacked opponent.

Juanda held top pair with {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

but his opponent showed {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

for a better kicker. The turn was a repeat {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

but the river bricked the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and Juanda was left with only a few thousand in chips which were taken from him a few hands later.
