Duhamel Jumps Out to Early Lead

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Jonathan Duhamel
Jonathan Duhamel

On the button, Jonathan Duhamel min-raised to 1,600 and John Duthie three-bet to 4,600. Duhamel made the call and the dealer flopped the {4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}. Duthie continued with a bet of 4,500 and Duhamel deliberated for a minute or so before making the call. The turn brought the {Q-Diamonds} and Duthie slowed down, checking the action to Duhamel, who slowly counted out a bet of 7,300. Duthie flashed a pained smile while showing his opponent a black Ace, before mucking his hand. Duhamel now has a sizable lead but both players retain their 50k add-ons.
