Juanda Eliminated

[user75032]

As we did yesterday, today we played only one hand after the tournament clock was paused. According to table-mate Phil Gordon, short-stacked John Juanda seemed somewhat tilted that there was only one further hand to be played. He opened from under the gun, all in for about 17,000. Action passed to Gordon. He called with pocket eights and found himself against Juanda's pocket fives. Eights held to send Juanda to the rail.

That pot may have put Gordon in the chip lead. He finished the night with 157,000. The biggest stack we counted prior to the last hand was Jan Skampa's 155,000.
