Duhamel Grinds a Short Stack

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Jonathan Duhamel
Jonathan Duhamel

The WSOP champ's stack is proving to be glued, limpet-like to his table. Jonathan Duhamel doesn't seem one of those lump-it-in types who regard a short stack as something to be moved in asap regardless - he's up over 10,000 after a period of being vultured by media on less than 3,000.

He raised preflop to 800 from an 8,000 stack, called by no fewer than four players, keen to have a shot at stacking the famous Canadian, perhaps. The flop arrived {8-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{2-Clubs} and action checked all the way around. The big blind bet 2,000 on the {2-Diamonds} turn, called by Duhamel alone. The river was the {A-Clubs}, and now checking to Duhamel, the big blind passed when he moved in for 4,150.

"Respect," he said to Duhamel, although there wasn't much sign of it preflop. In any case those who bet against his making the dinner break are about to lose.
