John Juanda managed to defeat Phil Hellmuth to take the bracelet. "Tonight there were a lot of great players," said Juanda. "It's tough to post a $10,000 buy-in tournament, especially in a game like no-limit 2-7, so, I didn't expect it to be easy. I actually started today as the shortest stack and obviously had to catch some cards. You know, I just took it one hand at a time."

John Juanda isn't an amateur to the 2-7 Lowball discipline. With back-to-back fourth-place finishes in this event the past two years, Juanda had the much-needed experience to keep his focus and find a way to win his fifth WSOP bracelet and $367,170. This was Juanda's 56th WSOP cash and his first bracelet since his WSOP Europe main event win in 2008.
