Juanda Goes Runner Runner to Miraculously Stay in the Hall of Fame Bounty
John Juanda was forced all in from the big blind, with 3,000 of his stack going to the big blind ante and 2,000 as his big blind. Every player on the table limped, hoping for a piece of the Juanda's $2,015 bounty.
Juanda joked "Shall I book my Uber now?" as the flop came 10?3?3? and the player in early position bet 6,000 and was called by middle position. The small blind check-raised to 27,000 and that bet forced everyone else to fold.
John Juanda J?8?
Small Blind: Q?3?
Juanda was in rough shape as the small blind flopped trip three's and would require running cards to stay in the tournament. The 7? produced oohs and aahs from the table as it gave Juanda a gutshot.
The 9? on the river caused an eruption of noise as Juanda made the straight to stay in the competition and deny the small blind his bounty.
