Juanda Finds a Double

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

The start of the heads up belonged to Julian Stuer, but John Juanda managed to spike an early double to reduce the huge gap somewhat.

In a limped pot to the {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, Juanda check-raised all in after a bet of 75,000 by Stuer and the latter called.

Julian Stuer: {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
John Juanda: {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

"Hold one time," the German and Austrian rail demanded and the turn was the {6-Spades}, but the {10-Spades} river improved Juanda and he doubled for 940,000.

Thomas Muehloecker Eliminated in 3rd Place (�471,400)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Thomas Muehloecker
Thomas Muehloecker

After a few hands without any showdown, Thomas Muehloecker had built his stack to around 1,200,000 while Julian Stuer kept either raising or open-shoving into both short stacks. Then, Stuer raised to 100,000 and Muehloecker three-bet shoved out of the small blind for 24 big blinds. John Juanda folded and Stuer called.

Julian Stuer: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Thomas Muchloecker: {J-Spades}{9-Spades}

The flop of {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} failed to improve Muehloecker, and he was in need of an eight after the {6-Diamonds} turn, as Stuer had improved to a straight. Instead, it was the blank {7-Diamonds} and Muehloecker was eliminated in 3rd place for �471,400. Juanda has at least �683,900 guaranteed and has to overcome a more than 6-1 lead of Stuer to claim the title.
