Juanda Doubles Through Schwartz

We found John Juanda with all of his chips in the middle of the table. Noah Schwartz was seated on the other side of the dealer, pondering putting 34,700 into the middle.

With a smile, Juanda was asking if there was anything fun to do in Nice with his girlfriend and son. While he joked that he wanted to be out of the tournament, he was quite pleased to find that when Schwartz called, he was ahead.

Juanda showed {A-Spades} {K-Spades} and was crushing Schwartz's {A-Hearts} {J-Spades} .

The board came down {2-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {3-Clubs} and Juanda's hand was able to hold, doubling him to about 70,000. Schwartz, on the other hand, has been crippled to about 10,000.
