"Count 'em" asked Schulman of the dealer, who cut out Juanda's remaining 219,000. Schulman made the call and each player drew one card.
Juanda drew a six to make 9-6-5-4-3, but Schulman pulled a seven to make 8-7-5-3-2, sending Juanda to the rail in fourth place.
During Sung's time in the tank, Juanda looked around and said a few words (inaudible to us) to Sung. Nick Schulman and Ville Wahlbeck each got up from the table to stretch their legs. Wahlbeck could be seen tapping away at his phone.
Sung finally called all in. Both players stood pat. Juanda opened 9-8-6-5-4, a hand that was no good against Sung's 9-5-4-3-2. It was a sick read by Sung and an even sicker decision not to break his hand after Juanda stood pat. Sung doubled up to a total of 1.2 million chips.
Juanda is now the short stack at 250,000.
Steve Sung has also had a spot of success already this summer. He took first place in Event 4, the $1,000 Stimulus Special, banking $771,000 and a gold bracelet.
Wahlbeck led out for 80,000 after the draw and Schulman called, only to watch Wahlbeck turn up number two, 7-6-4-3-2. Schulman mucked and Wahlbeck raked in the pot.
Schulman rapped pat on the draw. It was one card for Sung and then a tank of more than a minute when Schulman led out for 180,000 after the draw. Sung finally opted to lay down his hand.
A note on the gallery: there ain't many people here. We spot about a dozen people in the seating around the table, and maybe another dozen up on the balcony floating between this final table and the $1,500 No-Limit Shootout final table on the secondary feature table. The only notable faces are Jean-Robert Bellande, the bubble boy from this tournament, and T.J. Cloutier.
There was a 30-second pause before Juanda announced he was all in. Wahlbeck didn't need nearly as long to fold his hand.
Juanda seems to be picking his spots well, using his stack as a weapon to induce folds.
