QQ for JJ

John Juanda has been chipping up all day and is comfortably above 10,000 chips.

In one particular hand a short-stacked player open shoved for 1,675 on the button and Juanda called from the small blind. The big blind released and the hands were tabled:

Juanda: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Shorty: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The {Q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop all but ended and the {J-Clubs} on the turn made it official. The {2-Hearts} hit the river, but Juanda's opponent was already gone.

Juanda is now up near 12,000 chips.
