 | Most people know Juha, a poker dealer
from Finland, from the World Poker Tour episode in Aruba where he won the
amatuer tournament after going heads up against his friend Anssi
Tuulivirda from Finland while getting lucky along the way when he also
knocked out Kathy Liebert with a J9o vs her Q10s (Leibert was technically
a professional player but qualified for the tournament online). He and
then went on to play, and beat, Phil Gordon who was the winner of the
professional tournament. The heads up action between Gordon and Juha was
interesting because Gordon, the pro, couldn't do anything right. Anytime
Gordon tried to make a huge bluff on Juha, Juha would come over the top
and reraise him - even when he had nothing himself. These days Juha can be
seen promoting Ultimatebet.com and also playing on his screen name
"peasant".
