Hand #356 - Stanislav Alekhin

[user38449]

Stanislav Alekhin has the button and raises to 100,000. John Juanda then reraises to 325,000 and is called by his heads-up opponent.

The two see a flop of {2-Clubs}

and Juanda opens fire with a 365,000 bet. Alekhin makes the call and the dealer burns and turns the {10-Diamonds}

.

Juanda continues his aggressive assault with a 480,000 bet -- one that sends a now uneasy Alekhin into the tank. The Russian then piles up an intimidating stack of chips worth over one million, but Juanda folds before the amount is announced. Alekhin showed a pocket pair of queens before raking in the pot.
