John Juanda moved from Indonesia to the USA in 1990 when he enrolled at Oklahoma University. He went on to become one of the world’s most recognisable poker players and has so far accrued $10.5 million in tournament winnings. It’s a far cry from his days as a door-to-door salesman selling bibles.
Juanda has four WSOP bracelets to his name, including winning the 2008 World Series of Poker Europe event for £868,000. A few weeks after that, he came second to Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier in the London EPT £1 Million Showdown, earning £327,000. London is clearly a happy hunting ground for Juanda, and he looks set to make another big cash here today.
