Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel has vaulted up the chip counts and explains how he did it. He also gives his opinion on Joe Hachem's thoughts on recent WSOP Main Event champions.
With around 17,000 in the pot and a board reading , the player in the big blind checked and Eoghan O'Dea, who has been on a tear as of late, bet 8,500 from the button. The big blind called and then checked once again on the river. O'Dea took the opportunity to bet 340,000, but ended up folding when his opponent check-raised to 27,000.
John Juanda has just eliminated Jesse "OnTheMac" McKenzie after flopping bottom set against the Aussie's top-pair top-kicked.
We picked up the action on the turn on a board reading when McKenzie bet 8,200 from the small blind and Juanda called from middle position. When the completed the board on the river, McKenzie checked and Juanda moved all in. McKenzie had about 25,000 behind and snap-called off.
Juanda tabled the for a set, and it was good against McKenzie's .
Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel and Nick Mullen just played a massive one, where over 300,000 in chips went in on the flop. Duhamel had the for top two pair against Mullen's for an ace-high flush draw.
The turn was the to give Mullen a gutshot straight draw to Broadway as well, but all the on the river did was give Duhamel a full house. Duhamel collected the pot and moved to over 300,000 in chips.
