John Juanda Profile

John (Johnson) Juanda was on July 8, 1971. He was born and raised in Indonesia and moved to Los Angeles in 1990, when he enrolled at Oklahoma State University. He then went on to receive 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 has expressed an interest in medicine and has said if poker wasn't his career this would be.

He has placed in the money more than 25 times at the World Series of Poker and earned three WSOP gold bracelets.
