John Juanda Eliminated in 4th Place ($44,941)

[user66118]

The action folded around to the blinds, and Abe Mosseri's small blind of 10,000 was already enough to cover Juanda's all in for 8,000 from the big. Drawing for his tournament life, Juanda swapped three-two-two on the drawing rounds. Mosseri took two cards on the first chance, standing pat from then on out.

He would show down 9-8-7-4-2 for a ninety-eight. Juanda had a good start with 8-6-2, but his final draw brought two ugly paint cards to the party. Queens and jacks are not what Juanda was looking for, and he has run out of chips.

John Juanda played a fine tournament for the past three days, and he was no doubt the betting favorite even as his stack got short. Despite his great run, he will fall three spots short of his ultimate goal. As a consolation prize, Juanda will pocket $44,941.
