The 2008 WSOP Europe Main Event attracted 362 entrants and created a prize pool of £3,620,000. The final table would see seven different countries represented and be headlined by John Juanda and Daniel Negreanu. Amazingly Russian Ivan Demidov final tabled the WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas a few months earlier and was the first player to final table both Main Events in the same year. However, it would be John Juanda collecting his fourth WSOP bracelet after a marathon seven-hour heads-up match with Stanislav Alekhin before he captured the £868,800 first-place prize and title of 2008 WSOP Europe champion.
