The biggest European Poker Tour event of all time has been won by one of poker's greatest talents. After a hard-fought battle at a very tough final table, one other than John Juanda defeated a field of 1,694 players to take home the first-place prize of €1,022,593 and his first EPT title.

yeah, I saw that event live and I truly admire Juanda - he declined the 4way deal being shortstacked just to win the whole thing!

really don't like this guy, but he played the best poker on the final table with lots of luck (hit A on the river AK against QQ), also I didn't like his asking for 2,5k with over 900k in his hands, so cheap :cool:

He played extremely well, but he also was lucky.
On day 5 he just had less than 10 BB and could get over it to take the highest prize.
I'm a big fan of his game. Congrats Juanda.

Good for him he did not take the deal when he was down on his last blinds with 5 remaining.

I think this was his third final table in this Barcelona main event. Think I read this somewhere.

Whether he truly took a full year off with no poker, this just goes to show you that it is a game of skill, as well as great timing in making moves...If I read correctly he had come close before, and it is nice to see a great player getting a nice score.. He welcomed himself back in a big way!!!
