The 12th All Africa Tournament was held at Piggs Peak, Swaziland.
John Tabatabai is only 22 years of age but now has several big time tournament accomplishments. He finished second to Annette Obrestad in the main event of the 2007 WSOP of Europe. Now he adds the All Africa title to his poker resume.
John has described his WSOPE experience as the best and the worst experience of his life. He loved the challenge and the great players that he played with but second was heartbreaking. It left him shell-shocked and took him more than two months to recover from the disappointment. It seems he may have fully recovered at Piggs Peak. His next event is the EPT event in San Remo.
