John Juanda Wins World Series of Poker Europe

The second annual World Series of Poker Europe has come to a close, and the winner of the coveted main event is an American poker pro, John Juanda. The buy in was £10,000 and 362 players took part, creating a prize pool of £3,620,000. Juanda, the first American to win a WSOP main event outside of the United States, took home £868,800 ($1,598,587) as his first place prize. Juanda outlasted the rest of his final table comrades - including many top poker pros, such as Daniel Negreanu, in a final table battle of 19 hours and 10 minutes.
