Die Hard Fans

Kudos is in order for the many fans who have stuck around to follow the action this late into the evening (morning now). Glancing around the room, there aren't many empty seats in the house and several fans are still lining the rail on both sets of stairs and on the balcony that overlooks the main floor.

Hand #278 - John Juanda

Stanislav Alekhin has the button. He raises to 90,000, John Juanda reraises to 290,000 and Alekhin calls. The flop is {A-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}. Juanda checks and Alekhin checks behind. The turn is the {Q-Diamonds}. Juanda bets 290,000 chasing away Alekhin.

Hand #281 - John Juanda

John Juanda has the button and raises to 80,000. Stanislav Alekhin makes the call and sees the flop come {3-Spades} {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}.

The action is then checked to Juanda who tosses out a continuation bet of 105,000 which is all it takes to force Alekhin out of the hand.

Hand #282 - Stanislav Alekhin

Stanislav Alekhin has the button. He raises to 90,000 and Juanda calls. The flop is {7-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} and both players check. The turn is the {8-Hearts}. Juanda bets 105,000 and Alekhin calls. The {3-Hearts} on the river earns checks from both players.

Juanda shows queen-high, Alekhin shows a pair of eights and he takes it down.
