Poker's WSOPE Champion
 October 5, 2008, 8:25 am (3 years ago)Following the longest last table in the long and checkered history of the World Series of Poker, Californian Full Tilt pro John Juanda added nearly $2,000,000 to his whole competition earnings, picking up the WSOPE Ј10,000 Main Event for Ј868k.
A key hand appeared in the early hours of this morning following players had been going at it for 21 hours – on a flop of QhKc7c both John Juanda and sinister-looking Russian Stanislav Alekhin received 6.5m chips halfway with Kh6h and 4c3c in that order. Juanda’s top pair maintained to give him a dominant 11-1 chip ahead.
Following that it was only a question of time, and the big hand happened when Alekhin pushed pre-flop with A9o. Juanda called with K6o and the Russian was a 63% favorite. The % got flipped on their head following the 66x flop as Juanda now positioned himself as 99% favorite. The turn piled and the Year of the Pro goes on as Juanda wins Ј868k at The Empire.
