Duhamel Strikes River

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

On a {7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop, Jonathan Duhamel fired out a continuation-bet of 9,500 only to have his lone opponent in the big blind check-raise to 30,000. Duhamel responded by moving all in as his opponent instantly made the call for his final 80,000 in chips.

Duhamel: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

With Duhamel trailing but still holding plenty of outs, the {2-Hearts} changed little on the turn, but it would be the river-striking {10-Diamonds} that would ensure Duhamel was pushed the pot to move to roughly 255,000 in chips.
