John Juanda is the 2008 WSOPE Main Event Champion.

Friday, 3 October 2008

It's been a fortnight London will never forget. Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen, Patrik Antonius, Daniel Negreanu – the very best players from around the world descended on the English capital in their bid to win the WSOPE gold. In the end it was John Juanda who took home the Championship event, winning £868,800 as well as the gold bracelet.

The Main Event itself took four days of play before John Juanda won the last hand at 10.30am local time. Outlasting the much fancied Daniel Negreanu, as well as November Nine finalist Ivan Demidov, not many will begrudge John Juanda of the win which seems him join Norwegian Annette Obrestad on the Roll of Honour.
The Bluff Europe team are tired, and looking forward to getting their first decent rest in the fortnight, but we'd like to thank you all for following what we hope you agree has been an incredible two weeks. To champions Theo Jorgensen, Sherkhan Farnoud and Jesper Hougaard, our congratulations, and to John Juanda.... very well played, sir.
