[user25067]

John Juanda has the button. He raises to 150,000, Alekhin moves all in and Juanda calls.

Juanda {A-Spades}

Alekhin

The flop is {J-Clubs}

, 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 {Q-Hearts}

lands on the turn and the {10-Clubs}

falls on the river. Juanda doubles up to 1.78 million, and we're off to our four hundretdh hand...

...I never thought I'd write such a title at a final table, but I guess there's a first time for everything. Alas, here's hand number 400:

Stanislav Alekhin has the button and makes it 155,000, effectively stealing John Juanda's big blind.

Stunning!

Stanislav Alekhin has the button and raises to 150,000. John Juanda makes the call and we see a {A-Diamonds}

flop.

The flop is checked by both and the {2-Diamonds}

lands on the turn. Juanda opens with a 275,000 bet and Alekhin quickly calls.

The {10-Spades}

falls on fifth street and Juanda fires the big guns, blasting a 475,000 bet. Alekhin wastes no time announcing he's "All in," and Juanda immediately stands up out of his chair.

"Alright, I call" says Juanda and Alekhin sheepishly turns over the {Q-Diamonds}
