John Juanda Eliminated in 5th Place ($62,793)

Kirk Brown

Level 16 : Blinds 0/0, 6,000 ante

John Juanda open-shoved under the gun and then Eric Wasserson moved all in behind him for much more. The other players quickly got out of the way and the cards were tabled.

John Juanda: Q?10?
Eric Wasserson: A?K?

"Uh oh," Juanda chuckled as he realized what he was up against.

The flop came A?9?8? to give Wasserson top pair, but it also gave Juanda an inside straight draw to a jack.

Unfortunately for him, the board ran out 8?9? and the poker Hall of Famer was eliminated in fifth place. He stood up and shook everyone's hand and wished them the best of luck before he made his way to the payout desk.
