Juanda Not Happy with Kornuth for Making Him Show After Muehloecker Doubles Through
John Juanda and Thomas Muehloecker just clashed in a big pot, which ended with a little back and forth between Juanda and Chance Kornuth.
We picked up the action with the flop showing

, and Juanda checked a third time. Muehloecker paused before moving all in for 24,400, and Juanda went into the tank.

for the nut flush to double up.
Juanda threw his cards face down towards the muck, and that's when Kornuth jumped in.
"It's an all-in showdown," Kornuth said, "Both hands need to be shown."
Initially, Juanda didn't say anything, but as Kornuth pressed the matter and the tournament director was called over, this season's European Poker Tour Barcelona winner responded.
"You didn't show your cards in the same situation earlier," Juanda said, "Why are you being a jerk?"
"You are right, but I'm just trying to get an edge," Kornuth said, admitting that someone should've pointed out that he had to show in that prior situation.
"He has to show," Kornuth continued.
The tournament director indeed ruled that Juanda had to show his cards, and the 
was tabled.
Juanda wasn't happy, and Kornuth added, "You tried to do the same thing as me, and the only difference is that I didn't get caught."
