After a very interesting three-way all in, John Juanda has been eliminated in 23rd place of the Aussie Millions Main Event.
It started when Andrew Phaedonos opened to 38,000 from under the gun. John Juanda three-bet to 101,000 in the cutoff, Jim Mourafas cold-called on the button, and Phaedonos called as well.
The dealer fanned 
, Phaedonos and Juanda both checked, and Mourafas fired out 206,000. Phaedonos called, Juanda moved all in for 407,000, and Mourafas called, leaving just 130,000 behind. Phaedonos called once again, and thinking Mourafas was also all in, Juanda tabled 
for a pair of aces.
Quickly realizing his mistake Juanda turned his cards back face down, and the turn was dealt - 
. Phaedonos moved all in for effectively 130,000 into a pot of over 1.5 million chips, and Mourafas tanked for a considerable amount of time before folding.
Phaedonos revealed 
for a set of tens, Juanda re-opened his pocket aces, and the 
bricked off on the river.
As Juanda was collecting his things to leave he asked Mourafas what he had, but the Aussie shrugged it off, saying he didn't remember.
