Juanda Battling

John Juanda opened for 27,000 from early position, then it folded to the player in the cutoff who called, though tossed out fewer chips than Juanda had raised. When the raise amount was clarified to him and he satisfied the difference, the others folded. Juanda asked him if he would have called if he knew it was 27,000, and he said absolutely not, tongue in cheek.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Juanda fired 32,000. His opponent could see that bet amount clearly enough, and folded his hand.
