John Juanda plays so tight I think I've never seen him shove or call a shove with the worst hand when he has a decent stack. Better luck next time, It's always nice to see that ABC poker still works.

we all know that in the long run luck evens out and if you lose with ak against aj even 10 times in a row, you will win probably 15 times in a row later. but the point is not winning the more hands with the better hand- it is super vital that you will the hands that are most important financially! like this one, tough luck

Mike Watson must have done a great work at the final table, starting with 239k and reaching the final HU with 4.17 M, looks like John Juanda rested more than a lot during this period, and this may have been the cause for his loss. It's ok to let things go when you're leading with such an advantage, but if you stop showing some work those who will be rising in the game will feel them as weakers. Mike won enough confidence at the final table, with such a boost to is stack, that he played equal to equal on the last HU, not fearing anything that could come from Juanda. And nothing bad came.
