The Man

2010 WSOP winning hand

Jonathan Duhamel lived up to expectations.  It didn’t take long at all.  Duhamel kept chipping up bit by bit, raising every blind in contrast with Racener’s limp every blind strategy.  On the 1oth hand of heads-up play, Racener doubles up with QQ vs. K4o, and things were looking up for him.  But in the end, there was no beating the enormous chip lead that Duhamel started the evening with.  And in the end the young man from Montreal took home the Trophy.

WSOP 2010 – The Final Two

WSOP 2010 - It's On

While we here at Poker-Mac have been restoring our website, the november 9 have already been at work.   My horse was the Grinder.  At the outset the books were giving him 7:1 odds.  He started a bit short, fought to first place, helped along by one of the sickest hands.  Grinder calls Matt Jarvis’ all-in with AQ vs. 99.  A flip but he’s a bit behind.  Flop comes Q8Q and suddenly he’s nearly unbeatable – Jarvis is dead in the water.  Turn, however, comes a 9.  Sick.  Jarvis is now way ahead.  Grinder does have some redraws.  He needs an Ace, the case Queen or an 8 to make a bigger full house.  The Ace on the River knocks out Jarvis and makes the Grindah the chip leader.

I went to sleep and the next morning, Duhamel is the massive chip leader with Racener still chewing the same piece of gum he started play with.  Go RCNR.
