WSOP Main Event Champs Fall

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

World Series of Poker Main Event champions Greg Merson and Jonathan Duhamel have recently been eliminated from play. Merson was short-stacked for most of the day and was unable to gain momentum as play progressed. We came upon Duhamel's table in time to see him move all in for roughly 20,000 on a board of {6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}.

Duhamel's opponent instantly called, prompting the 2010 WSOP Main Event champion to roll over {10-Spades}{8-Spades} for a spade flush. Duhamel's opponent had that beat, however, with {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for a full house of deuces full of treys.

"Yeah that wins," remarked Duhamel as he stood from the table.
