PokerStars: EPT12 Barcelona: John Juanda negotiates his way to a million and a title

John Juanda is regarded as one of the greatest talents in the poker world. Not without a merit, the 44-year-old has just broken a record by becoming an EPT Barcelona winner and the Main Event of PokerStars‘ prestigious competition. He was the best out of 1,694 players and seized the first place, together with its EUR 1,022,593 cash reward.

This is the first EPT title of the successful poker player, according to online gambling news. Even though the fact that he won the largest amount of money, other players can be satisfied with the final results as well. Frederik Jensen finished in the third position, which awards him with a EUR 810,294 prize, while Steve Warburton’s silver medal comes with a EUR 941,613 cash reward.

The final round has started with Denys Shafikov being the overwhelming chip leader. Juanda quickly came up to the second position by an Ace and a King in hand, with which he defeated Andreas Samuelsson’s queens. Lots of hands later, Shafikov lost his leading position upon losing the all-in to Jensen, and eventually got knocked out by the latter EPT Barcelona winner Juanda.

At this point, Steve Warburton had the most coins, while Juanda was in second position. Jensen tried to match Juanda but his 2 pairs were not good enough against Juanda’s full house so he had to quit the game, leaving only 2 players in the game. Juanda had a great advantage over Warburton by now, thanks to which he managed to defeat his young rival.

The Indonesian EPT champion has added his prize of over EUR 1 million to his total career earnings which, due to his latest success, exceeds the USD 17 million. With this amount, John Juanda has made his way to the top 10 of all-time poker earners. He sat in the table with the second shortest stack but remained determined and focused until the last second, thanks to which he became EPT Barcelona winner.

However, it was doubtful whether he would even start competing in the EUR 5,300 Main Event of European Poker Tour Barcelona. Online mobile news report that he suffered from an illness and arrived in the last minute to play. In addition, only a few days ago, he was offered the chance to claim a prize of more than EUR 500,000 but he turned the offer down. Juanda explained his decision by saying that accepting that prize would have meant giving up on the EUR 1 million reward of the Main Event.
