Hand #291 - Stanislav Alekhin

John Juanda has the button and raises to 100,000. Stanislav Alekhin stops stacking his chips from his recent double up to peek at his cards, and he likes them enough to make the call.

The flop comes {8-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {7-Spades} and Alekhin passes to Juanda who makes a continuation bet of 125,000. Alekhin then check-raises to 350,000 and Juanda insta-folds, surrendering the pot to Alekhin.

Hand #289 - Stanislav Alekhin Doubles Up

John Juanda has the button and min-raises to 100,000. Stanislav Alekhin then reraises to 300,000 and Juanda makes the call.

The flop comes {10-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {5-Clubs} and Alekhin leads out with a 350,000 bet. Juanda tanks, all the while shuffling a small stack of 5,000 chips before eventually announcing "All in." Alekhin makes the call and a showdown ensues:

Juanda: {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}
Alekhin: {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}

The {J-Hearts} on the turn put a quick end to the drama, as Alekhin cemented the double up, putting him at 4,610,000. Juanda dropped to 2,660,000 with the loss.
