Han Hesitates to Pull the Trigger on the River; Juarez Doubles His Starting Stack

Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

With around 350,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 9?6?9?, Yong Han checked it over to Mauro Juarez, who bet 140,000. Han then check-raised to 350,000, and Juarez called.
A 10? came on the turn and Han fired another bet of 425,000, which Juarez called.
When the 5? landed on the river, Han thought for a long time before he checked, and Juarez quickly checked back.
Han tabled A?K? for ace-high, but Juarez's 8?8? earned him the pot.
It's been a great start for Juarez who has more than double the amount of chips that he started the day with.
