We found John Juanda with 1,500 in front of him before the flop, and Anthony Miller put out a raise to what looked like 4,400, and Juanda made the call. The flop brought , and Juanda checked. Miller announced all in for his last 7,000 or so, and Juanda called immediately.

The turn was paint, but it was a , and the river was a brick for Juanda.
"Don't worry," Miller said. "He's still up a bunch of chips on me."
We were in the silver section of the Brasilia room when we heard a loud roar from one of the tables. As we rushed over we seen a player storming away from the table and You Kyoung-Oh with her hands over her face.
Kyoung-Oh had snap-called an all-in shove on a flop of .
Kyoung-Oh:
Opponent:
Kyoung-Oh was in great shape to eliminate her opponent and grab a monster stack. The turn, however, was the and her opponent's set of kings took the lead.
She needed an ace and her prayers to the poker gods were answered, as the dealer rapped the table and turned over the on the river.
Action folded to the player on the button who opened for 525. The small blind folded and before the big blind could act the dealer, who perhaps was gripping the deck a little too tightly, spilled the rest of the pack face up across the table.
No one knew quite what to do, wondering if it was a misdeal. The player in the big blind made it clear that there was no way he was folding and kept his cards securely protected. The floor was called and as the muck and the stub were clearly separate, the remaining correct deck should be shuffled and the hand could continue.
The dealer washed the cards and as he finished shuffling the player in the big blind raised to 1,500 on won the pot. He then showed his as the reason for holding on to his hand so fiercely.
Paul Pierce limped in from the hijack seat, the player in the cutoff seat limped, Ariel Celestino called from the small blind, and the player in the big blind checked.

The river added a second pair to the board with the , and Pierce checked. His opponent checked behind.
Pierce showed the for a full house, tens-full of sevens, and that beat his opponent's to take the pot.
Dan Heimiller has taken a seat in the Tan section of the Amazon Room. Heimiller claimed his second World Series of Poker bracelet earlier this summer by topping a whopping 4,425 players to win the seniors' event. He has nearly $5 million in live tournament winnings to go with a colorful personality, so we'll definitely be keeping an eye on Heimiller today.
John Juanda start of this year's World Series of Poker Main Event couldn't have gone much better as he's already up to 67,000 chips.
We just watched Juanda stack up some newly won chips after the dealer had called out, "Seat open!"
Juanda has one cash so far at this year's World Series of Poker and the five-time bracelet winner looks to make some noise in this tournament at the end of his quiet summer.
Juanda won the 2008 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event and finished 31st in the 2005 Main Event.
