Written by Team 72os   
Johnson (John) Juanda (born July 8, 1971 in Indonesia) is an American professional poker player based in Marina del Rey, California.

Juanda lives in Los Angeles. He was born and raised in Indonesia. John arrived in the U.S. in 1990, when he enrolled at Oklahoma State University. He earned an MBA from Seattle University.

John was a high school track star for the 200 meter sprints to 5000 meter races. He had a stint as a door to door salesman selling Bibles. He was the 2002 tournament Champion of the Year, winning 3 World Series of Poker titles, and a World Poker Open Championship title. In November 2004 he won the inaugural Professional Poker Tour event at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut.

In November 2005 he earned nearly $500,000 in Monte Carlo, Monaco after winning the Monte Carlo Millions Consolation tournament, finishing sixth in the Monte Carlo Millions Main Event, and finishing second at "The FullTiltPoker.Net Invitational Live from Monte Carlo."

In January 2006, Juanda defeated a field including Jeff Lisandro, Mike Sexton, Barry Greenstein, Tony Bloom, Tony G and Phil Ivey to win the AUD1,000,000 ($732,901) first prize in the Crown Australian Poker Championship AUD100,000 speed poker event.

Although Juanda has made 6 World Poker Tour final tables, he has never captured a title. He has finished 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th (twice), and 6th at the final tables he has appeared at. He has also finished 7th and 8th, just missing two more opportunities at another final table.

As of 2007, his total live tournament winnings exceed $6,600,000.

Juanda is a member of "Team Full Tilt" at Full Tilt Poker.
