Shakerchi Concedes Pot to Juanda; Inadvertently Costs Negreanu

John Juanda raised to a neat 25,000 preflop (there are now white 25k chips in play, thank goodness). He was called by Talal Shakerchi and big blind Daniel Negreanu.

Flop: {7-Spades}

All three players check.
Turn: {4-Clubs}

Negreanu bets out 40,000. Juanda slowly makes the call, and then Shakerchi, even more slowly, follows suit.

River: {5-Clubs}

Negreanu now checks. Juanda methodically sets out 55,000. Over to Shakerchi, who makes the call. Back to Negreanu, who starts talking to himself again, ending with the audible, "Maybe eight," pointing at Juanda, and then, "Maybe flush," pointing at Shakerchi. He passes.

Juanda shows {A-Clubs}

for the straight, as predicted by Negreanu, but Shakerchi then mucks his hand, not as predicted. An audible sigh from the Canadian, who says, "I had the eight. You cost me a split! I knew you [Juanda] were value betting..."
