Minor Setback for Juanda

"I'll gamble," muttered John Juanda with a slight sigh. Even as he revealed his {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, he knew he was behind, but it was his opponent who acted like the underdog, rising from his seat nervously and with a groan before tabling {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

The flop rolled out the {4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, and you could sense the all-in player start to tense. As he held his breath, the {4-Clubs} turn hit the felt, and with the {9-Clubs} river, all was well in the world once again.

Juanda, meanwhile, had taken an untimely hit, and although still above the current average, is back down to around 22,000.
