No Second WSOPE Bracelet For Juanda
As you may remember, John Juanda won the WSOPE Main Event back in 2008. Unfortunately for the five time bracelet winner, a repeat victory will not be in the cards this year.
We caught up to find Juanda seeing a flop with Barbara Martinez and Eugene Katchalov. Katchalov fired 2,000 from the small blind and Martinez flat called. Juanda called as well and the turn came .
Both players checked to Juanda and he bet 5,000. Katchalov got out of the way but Martinez decided to stick around.
The rivered and Martinez checked. Juanda shipped all in for just over 19,000 and Martinez went into the tank. The clock was called on her and eventually she announced a call.
"Bon Appétit," said Juanda as he flung his cards up, showing for a busted draw. Martinez showed and her pair of tens eliminated Juanda from the tournament.
