Juanda Doubles Through Luca
Level 4
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Just before the level went up, John Juanda managed to double through Ivan Luca, the same man he bluffed most of his stack off to in the last hand of Level 2.
In the hand, Thomas Muehloecker opened for 4,000 from early position and Luca called from the small blind. Juanda did the same from the big, and the trio watched the flop come down 
.
Luca checked, as did Juanda, and then both called after Muehloecker bet 5,700. All three players checked the 
turn, which brought about the 
on the river. Luca led out for 5,000, Juanda raised to 40,000, and Muehloecker folded. Luca eyed up the little bit Juanda had behind, a paltry 6,700, and moved all in.
Juanda snap-called off with the 
for the nuts, and Luca showed the 
before sending over the chips.
