![[user38449]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Born in Indonesia of Chinese descent, this 36-year-old is rightly considered among one of the greatest players of all-time. Part of a generation of young guns that emerged in the mid-1990s (together with Allen Cunningham, Layne Flack, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey and Kirk Morrison), his tournament earnings are nudging $US7 million.
Highlights of his career include the 2001 World Poker Open, three WSOP bracelets ($1500 Triple Draw Lowball Ace-to-Five in 2002; plus the $2500 Pot Limit Omaha and $2500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo Split in 2003). He has made six WPT final tables without winning a title, but collected the inaugural Professional Poker Tour title at Foxwoods in 2004. He also pocketed $1m when he won the Speed Poker title at the 2006 Aussie Millions. Juanda has rarely been out of the top-five in chips throughout this $15,000 APPT Macau High Roller Event.
