John Juanda ($14,198) played against Boosted J ($30,586) and CrazyMarco ($5,936) at the Char (6 Max) 7 Game mix game at Full Tilt.com. The blinds were $400/$800 and the average pot while I was watching the poker action was $2115.

Bigger Hands Won by John Juanda: $5,739.5 playing limit Razz. Boosted J folded after the last possible bet from John Juanda was $800 and there were no cards left to be dealt.

Crazy Marco Won the high and low and took the pot worth $6,399.

Boosted J then won the next hand worth $5,799 when they were playing Limit Omaha H/L.

The largest hand was won by CrazyMarco after going all-in against John Juanda. The pot was worth $18,299 and the game was PL Omaha Hi. John Juanda had a great starting hand with AA210 against 68Q10 but with a flop of 76675 junada’s aces were no match for the three of a kind 6’s.

Brian Hastings ($100,000), Isaac Baron ($46,745.50) and Ziigmund played at the Ivey Mix (HA) $500/$1000, 9 person table at Full Tilt. Also playing at the table was John Juanda, La Key U, halfdozen999 and frog22. This table had a lot of players sitting out and then sitting back in, so at any time there were usually only about 5-6 players getting dealt to every hand.

The largest hand played at the table was between John Juanda and Isaac Baron. John Juanda raised to $4k pre flop which was then raised by Issac Baron to $13k which Juanda called. The flop came down [9d 4c 6h] and Juanda checked, Baron bet $16k which after some thinking John Juanda called. The turn was a Qc and Juanda again checked but Issac Baron bet $60,200 which Juanda called going all-in with his last $44,844. At this time they both showed their cards and Isaac Baron had [Jc Js] while John Juanda held [As Qd]. The river was [Ad] sealing the deal for John Juanda and giving him the pot worth $149,886.

After about 100 hands the chip counts were:

Ziigmund ($148,995)
durrrr ($45,694)
John Juanda ($155,130), is sitting out
Isaac Baron ($80,625)
halfdozen999 ($15,771)
La Key U ($12,358)

John Juanda ($102,296.50), OMGClayAiken ($71,098.50) and trex313 ($49,600) played at RailHeaven (6 max) at FullTiltPoker.net. Also playing at the poker table was lady marmelade ($40,000) and Vaga_Lion ($50,000).

The first hand that I am going to write about was between Vaga_Lion and lady marmelade. After the hole cards were dealt Vaga_Lion raised to $3k and lady marmelade went over the top and raised to $9,500 after a little bit of thinking Vaga_Lion decided to raise all-in which was called by lady marmelade who had $33,500 left. Lady marmelade showed [Ks Qs] while Vaga_Lion showed [As Ac] the flop was [7s Ts Td] … turn [Qc] and the river was [9d] no help to Lady marmelade who needed a J, K or another Q. Vaga_Lion took down the $86,497 pot with his pocket aces holding up.

After a couple hands another large pot was played and this time it was between lady marmelade and trex313. Lady marmelade raised to $3,500 and was called by trex313 in the big blind. The flop was [2h 9s 7d] and trex313 bet $4,800 and lady marmelade raised that to $14,000. This didn’t deter trex313 because he went over the top again to $63,593 and lady marmelade called with $25k. They both flip over their cards and trex313 had [Ad Jh] and lady marmelade had [Ah 9dh]. The turn was [5c] and the river was [Th] neither any help to the trailing trex313. Lady marmelade took the pot with a pair of nines and took with it $85,497.

The next hand I will talk about was a monster hand between Vaga_lion and John Juanda. There was a pre-flop raise of $3,000 by lion and he was called by marmelade and Juanda. The flop of [7c 3d Ad] made marmelade check and Vaga_Lion bet $6,500, marmelade folds and Juanda called. The turn was a [8d] and Jaunada bet $14k after taking some time but was then raised by Vaga_Lion to $42k. At this point John Juanda took awhile to think about his next play but soon enough he raised to $85,292.50 going all-in which was called by Vaga_Lion with $28,997. At this point John Juanda shows [Qd 4d] while
Vaga_Lion shows [8c 8h]. The river was a [As] pairing the board giving Vaga_Lion a full house while Juanda’s flush goes down the drain because of this. Vaga_Lion then took the monster poker pot worth $163,991…While John Juanda mulls his huge beat on the river…

When I stopped watching the chip counts were:

• lady marmelade ($134,683)
• John Juanda ($107,792.50), is sitting out
• Vaga_Lion ($157,991)
• OMGClayAiken ($85,093.50)

durrrr ($196,097), Phil Ivey ($702,506.50), John Juanda ($373,484.50), Urindanger ($220,214.50) and elmariachimacho ($68,268) played at the $500/$1000 No Limit hold-em table. The table name is RailHeaven (6 max) and it didn’t disappoint.

You know it’s a good game when the $50k hands are not that interesting. There are a lot of hands in the hand history after the jump but I am going to talk about two huge hands in particular. When you see how much the pots were worth you will know why….

One of the hands was between Urindanger and John Juanda. On a flop of [Jc Kh 6h] Phil Ivey checks, Urindanger checks and John Juanda bet $7,800. Phil Ivey then disconnects and ends up having to fold the hand because his time ran out while Urindanger raises to $26,000k which is called by John after thinking about it for about 10 seconds. The turn was a [8c] and Urindanger takes his time and then throws out a $48k bet which Juanda then takes time and decides to throw all his money in $357,777.50….Urindanger is covered but is still about to call with $125,714.50. They both flip over their cards and Juanda shows [JhKs] (two pair so far) while Urindanger has [6d Kd] (two pair…but smaller second pair). The river comes down a [Qs] no help to Urindanger and Juanda collects the pot worth $408,429!

The next hand was between Phil ivey, elmariachimacho and durrrr. On a flop of [Jh 3c 4h] durrrr bets $7,300 and gets called by both players. The turn was a [8s] and durrrr makes a continuation bet of $27,400 which was called by Phil Ivey while elmariachimacho folded. The river card was a [3d] and durrrr this time checks while Phil Ivey bet $68k …. time went by and durrrr then went all-in raising the pot to $182,477.50. Which after requesting time and thinking on it Phil Ivey called. When they showed their cards durrrr shows a [5c Ad] …. uhhh playing the board…You have NOTHING?!?!? while Phil Ivey has [Qh Jc] and had two pair. Phil Ivey took down the pot and was able to read durrrr’s monster bluff and with that took the massive $451,155 pot.

There were a lot of other good hands and I encourage to to check out the hand history below. After about 150 hands and Phil Ivey leaving the table the chips looked like:

elmariachimacho ($88,067)
John Juanda ($601,320)
durrrr ($269,492)
Phil Ivey ($854,551), <— Almost a million at the table…
Urindanger ($365,446)

Phil Ivey ($263,264.90), Gus Hansen ($87,674.10), John Juanda ($149,992) and David Benyamine ($48,998) played $2000/$4000 Limit Stud H/L. This post is going to be somewhat short because I watched the tail end of the game and saw a couple big pots but didn’t see enough action to give a good report. I was able to see about 40 hands. There were points while I was watching when players would sit in and out…so even the 40 hands I watched weren’t the best.

Well after what I am sure are low hopes on your end I will start with a hand between Phil Ivey and David Benyamine. On 4th street where the betting started had Benyamine bet $2k which Ivey called. On 5th street Benaymine bet $4k and Ivey raised to $8k, which David Benyamine called. On 6th street this time Ivey bet $4k and Benyamine called. 7th street same deal with Ivey betting and David Benyamine calling. On the showdown Phil Ivey showed a full house tens full of fives and took down the pot worth $41,198.

This was really the largest hand I saw with another $32k in the PokerTilt hands. At the end of about 40 hands the chip counts were:

• David Benyamine ($28,497.75), is sitting out
• John Juanda ($149,092), is sitting out
• Gus Hansen ($149,663.35)
• Phil Ivey ($272,660.40)

One hand that is under the Poker Tilt Hands was between John Juanda and Mike Matusow when they were playing Limit Stud Hi.

John Juanda won with a higher two pair queens and two’s and raked in the pot worth $9,850.

John Juanda ($147,881) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi against ICallSoWhat ($27,995.50), OnTheRize ($16,399.50) and LoLiNa ($59,991). They played at the Panthoen (6 Max) poker table at Full Tilt Poker.

While I was watching there was 8 hands in a row that were $23,999. I haven’t watch a game like this for awhile where none of the players were afraid to bet, raise and re-raise pre-flop. It made the game a good one to watch and a big portion of each of the players chip stacks were at stake nearly every hand.

Well as I keep watching the table it is the same pattern, it wasn’t just 8 in a row like I mentioned earlier but it has been the last 16 hands and counting have been the same way. Pre-flop one bets the other raises and finally the last person bets to $8000. They all call and check the whole way down. Pretty funny to watch and John Juanda mentioned the “suspense” of playing like this.

Talk about throwing your money in the middle and hoping the poker gods help you out. This is truly gambling and none of the players seem to budging on the their $23,999 betting game.

The chat box was ranting and raving about how John Juanda kept losing and his stack was dwindling being split up between the two other players and he finally said “Shut Up” “Just lost 100k straight”, “STFU”, “This is too annoying now”. He finally sat out with $51,876….A far cry from $147k that he had when I started watching which was about 20 minutes.

After watching 4 hands John Juanda switched seats and was back at it again. The first two hands went to Lolina which would have been John Juanda’s cards if he didn’t switch his position at the table…The next hand then went to ICallSoWhat. After losing the hand to ICallSoWhat he said he was going to quit if he didn’t win the next hand….And he ends up winning the hand and he responded in the chat box “thy dont want me to quit” (I think referring to the poker gods). He then lost the next two hands…One hand was won by Lolina the other by ICallSoWhat. Not to be discouraged the poker gods had John Juanda win another hand.

Well hand after hand John Juanda kept losing. Lolina was basically scooping up pot after pot and John Juanda started to buy back in $8k at a time so he would be able to play the hands. Finally after buying in 5 times he wins a hand. John Juanda in the chat after losing and losing and Lolina sitting out iwth $184k says “yea I was the donkey” about his play at the table…

When they left the table…they played 50 hands in a row of $23,999 Coin flip and John Juanda went broke with his original $147k and about 5 buy-in’s of $8k. While Lolina went up to $175,969.50 and ICallSoWhat left with $103,974.50.

John Juanda won a large hand against patatino. After the flop patatino bet and John Juanda raised to $20k and patatino went over the top all-in. In the end of the hand the board showed [Td Qd 4c 5c] [9h] with John Juanda holding [Ts 3c Th Jc] for three of a kind tens against patatino’s pocket aces. The pot was worth $77,344.

The board was [4d Js 7c Kh 6h] giving Durrrr a straight on the river with a hand of [8s 9d Jd 5d] against ICallSoWhat’s two pair, Jacks and Sevens (which he made on the flop).
