Hand #117: John Juanda Eliminated in 3rd Place ($526,320)

Level 21: 50,000-100,000, 10,000 ante

Andrew Robl raises from the small blind to 250,000, John Juanda reraises from the big blind to 750,000, and Robl moves all in.

Juanda calls with 9club9spade, but he'll need to improve to stay alive against Robl's AclubAspade.

The board comes 5diamond4spade3spadeKheart3club, and Andrew Robl wins the pot with his pocket aces to eliminate John Juanda in third place, earning $526,320.

Tom Marchese and Andrew Robl will take a short break for the money presentation before heads-up play begins.

Hand #84: John Juanda Doubles Thru Tom Marchese

Level 20: 40,000-80,000, 10,000 ante

Tom Marchese raises from the button to 175,000, and John Juanda calls from the big blind. The flop comes AheartKheartQheart, Juanda checks, Marchese bets 225,000, and Juanda check-raises to 710,000.

Marchese thinks for a bit before he moves all in, and Juanda quickly calls all in for 2,375,000 with 9heart6heart (heart flush). Marchese turns over Jspade10club, and he's drawing dead to a royal flush on the board.

That's pretty unlikely. Even though three-fifths of it is already out there, it's nearly 1,000-to-1 shot to get there.

The turn is the 9diamond, the river is the 6club, and John Juanda wins the pot with a heart flush to double up in chips.

Hand #36: Daniel Perper Eliminated in 4th Place ($394,740)

John Juanda raises from the cutoff to 145,000, Daniel Perper moves all in from the small blind for 1,435,000, and Juanda asks for an exact count. After he gets it, Juanda asks Marchese for a count of his chips. (Marchese is not in the hand.)

Juanda calls with Adiamond10diamond, but Perper is a favorite to double up here with KheartKspade. Juanda points out that pocket kings have been holding up so far today.

Justin Bonomo min-raises from the cutoff to 100,000, John Juanda reraises from the big blind to 300,000, and Bonomo thinks for a bit before he calls.

The flop comes 10heart7spade5spade, Juanda moves all in, and Bonomo thinks for about 10 seconds before he calls with Adiamond10spade (pair of tens). Juanda shows KdiamondKheart, and Bonomo will need to improve to stay alive.
