After about 15 hands John Juanda joined the table with a $20,000 chip stack. The average pot in the game was $5992 and they were seeing 94 H/Hr! When I left Matusow had more then $23k while Juanda also had about the same going up about $3k from when he started.

John Juanda ($20,300) was playing heads up against DaEvils($38,717.50) at a $100/$200 NL Hold-em table. They had just started playing and after about 10 hands Juanda bets $600 and DaEvils raises to $2000. Juanda calls the hand and the flop comes down [5s 4d Kc], DaEvils is first to act and bets $3100 and Juanda raises to $6800….DaEvils then re-raises all-in. Juanda calls with his stack of $11,200 which DaEvils easily covers.

They flip over the cards and DaEvils shows [7d 8d] and Juanda is holding [Kh Js]. At this point in the hand Juanda is favored to win 77.88% of the time. The turn card is a [5c] which gives Juanda a 90.91% chance of winning the hand. The river comes a [6c] and DaEvils gets his gut shot straight draw and sucks out Juanda and rakes in a pot of $39,999.50!

At the Pearl (6 max) Limit Omaha Hi/Lo table: John Juanda ($40,244), Gus Hansen ($7,233.50), David Benyamine ($35,827), Idontgiveashi ($78,323.50), DaFool ($78,870.50) were playing. I started watch the table late in the game so I didn’t see much action before the table broke up. There were a two hands between Gus Hansen and David Benyamine that were worth 10k+.

In the 20 hands that I watched DaFool won some big hands. Gus Hansen was pretty steady with around 5-8k. John Juanda was also pretty steady through out the hands with 35k-40k and David Benyamine was up a bit from when he started around 10k more.

John Juanda was playing the $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha game. There were five other players at the 6 person table. The other players were: David Benyamine, Luck123, sbrugby and patatino.

John Juanda played a hand with patatino and lost $18,682. Patatino had 3 eights after the flop and hit another 8 on the river. Against John Juanda’s Kings on the flop, he then hit another Ten on the turn. The all-in was after the flop where John Juanda was already way behind and it just got worse.

John Juanda then bought in for another 16k. He played with that money for a couple hands. He then sat out for a few hands and when he returned he had bought in for another 34k he then was holding 40k at the table. He played again for a couple hands and then sat out for a bit. This is when I stopped observing.

John Juanda sat down and played hcdnttb heads up in the $50/$100 no limit table at FullTilt Poker. He ended up losing a huge hand where he held pocket 2’s and went up against trip 6’s. It was John Juanda who played uber aggressive through out the hand and ended up pushing all-in after the river card. (7h, Td, 3d, 6c and Qs) in a $20,997.50 hand. John Juanda in the chat said “wow” and asked if hcdnttb wanted to play $200/$400 after losing that huge hand. hcdnttb said “no” because he didn’t have the bankroll. Another big hand went down where John lost $13k and John said “$100/$200″ and left the table.

Hcdnttb followed him to the $100/$200 table but wanted to play on the button …so they joined a new heads-up $100/$200 game. Hcdnttb bought in for $10k while John Juanda bought in for 20k. Hcdnttb quickily lost a hand for a couple thousand and then bought in for an additional 10k bringing the match at an even 20k a piece.

John Juanda bought in for an additional 10k after playing a couple hands. So at that point John had $29k on the table while hcdnttb had $23k. This led to a huge hand where John lost $45,390 holding a three of a kind 9’s to hcdnttb’s king high flush. Another “wow” from John Juanda and hcdnttb quickily said “go back to tournaments tuan”.

John Juanda not wanting to give up buy’s in for another $20k. He then suffers another crushing defeat as his A6 goes against 55. Hcdnttb hits a three of a kind with his 5’s on the flop while John Juanda hits a 6 for a pair. On the turn, John gets an Ace giving him two pair…He then raises all-in (17k) which hcdnttb quickily calls. The river comes a 2s, no help to John Juanda and he loses another 20k!

He quickily messages “Are You Kidding Me” and then leaves the game…

This all took place in less then an hour….
