Juanda Slowly Building Momentum
Level 18
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Poker Hall of Famer John Juanda’s day has been a roller coaster, but he’s been on a steady climb after a slow start.
Action picked up on the flop in a battle of the blinds between Daniyal Gheba, who was in the small blind, and Juanda, who was in the big blind.
The board showed 2♠10♣Q♥, which resulted in Gheba betting 15,000. Juanda quickly called.
The dealer placed Q♣ on the turn, and Gheba checked. Juanda responded by betting 30,000, which forced Gheba to fold.
