Stunning!

Alekhin
The flop is , and Alekhin pairs his jack. Juanda needs an ace, a king or running straight cards to survive. And that's exactly what he gets when the lands on the turn and the falls on the river. Juanda doubles up to 1.78 million, and we're off to our four hundretdh hand...
Both players check the flop and the falls on the turn. Juanda quickly checks and Alekhin checks behind, bringing us to the river: .
Juanda counts out a 150,000 bet and slides it into the middle on the river and Alekhin folds.
John Juanda 940,000
Alekhin's pair of tens beats Juanda's pair of sevens and he takes it down.
The flop comes and Juanda leads out with a 60,000 bet that earns him the pot.
