: 5,000/10,000, 3,000 ante
Richard Ashby raised to 30,000 from the button, and John Juanda defended his big blind. Both players pulled two cards, and Ashby checked. Juanda took his cue to fire 50,000 at the pot, but Ashby very quickly check-raised to 200,000 straight. We love watching Juanda in the tank, and we got about two good minutes of his wide-eyed, gear-turning contemplation. He eyed up his stack to assess the potential damage, then slid the call across the imaginary betting line.
Ashby showed a strong 
, and he's taken the biggest pot of the day. It pushes him all the way up to 820,000, while Juanda falls back to 375,000 -- still about twice what he started today with.
