WSOPE Main Event Final Table: Juanda Extends His Lead

WSOPE Main Event Final Table: Juanda Extends His Lead

Friday, 3 October 2008

John Juanda is inching closer to the bracelet, winning a pot around 630,000.

Juanda raised from the button, making it 80,000 to go, with Alekhin making the call. The flop came Ah-2c-Jc, which Alekhin check-called for 105,000. Off to the turn we go, which is a 5c. Again the Russian checked to Juanda, who bet 130,000 and was called one more time. The river was Qc and John fired a third shell at the pot, this time for 340,000.

For the first time this evening, the statuesque posture of Alekhin is broken. He slumps back in his chair before passing his hand.
