Juanda Wins From Chan, Badziakouski Re-squeezes for Victory
John Juanda is running hot and pushed Peter Chan off a sizable pot to further pad out his stack and take a bite out of Chan’s.
We caught the action on the river with the board reading with over 500,000 in blinds and antes in the pot and Chan (middle position) deep in the tank and facing a Juanda (hi-jack) bet of 320,000.
Chan agonized over the decision, talking out loud to himself trying to out Juanda on a hand but was unable to do so and eventually made the fold to drop down to 900,000 while Juanda climbed to 2.55 million.
Over on the other table, Manig Loeser had made it 70,000 to go from the cutoff only to see Steffen Sontheimer squeeze to 205,000 from the button.
Mikita Badziakouski eyed up both players and reached for raising chips, re-squeezing to 450,000 in total and both Loeser and Sontheimer made the fold leaving Badziakouski to scoop close to 300,000 all without a flop being dealt.
