In a momentous confrontation between two former WSOP Main Event Champions, it was Jonathan Duhamel (2010) who prevailed over Greg Raymer (2004).

We saw Raymer with a bet of 350 in front of him, another caller in between, and Duhamel having raised the pot. Fossilman asked for a count of the Canadian pro's chips, and after assessing the situation he elected to make the call.

"If you have aces you're good sir," Raymer told Duhamel, while exposing his {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

Duhamel said nothing in reply, revealing his {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts} in stoic silence.

Raymer confirmed that the kings were in the lead, saying "those will work too I suppose," before watching the flop fall {2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.

"Deuce!" was Raymer's refrain, as he hoped to spike another to make trips and catch up, but the turn and river came {3-Diamonds} and {5-Spades} respectively, leaving Raymer with little more than a big blind to work with.

Raymer would bust out just a few hands later, and as he departed the tournament floor, we noticed that 2009 Main Event winner Joe Cada had also been eliminated, leaving our field with two less stars.
