Juanda Chooses Diamonds for His Ride or Die
Level 8
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Joni Jouhkimainen opened for 11,500 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 30,000 from John Juanda in the cutoff. Sylvain Loosli then four-bet to 76,000 from the small blind, Jouhkimainen folded, and Juanda thought for a bit before making the call. When the flop came down 
, Loosli led out for 42,000 and called when Juanda moved all in for approximately 260,000.
Juanda: 
Loosli: 
Loosli was ahead with his kings, but Juanda was drawing to diamonds, not to mention his ace. The 
turn was no help to the Poker Hall of Famer, and neither was the 
river. With that, Juanda has been eliminated from the tournament.
