Seat 9: Jonathan Duhamel
Everyone knows who this kid is, the reigning World Series of Poker Main Event champion. Since winning the massive prize of $8,944,310 in that event, Duhamel hasn’t been a slouch on the felt. In the beginning of 2011, Duhamel traveled to the European Poker Tour Deauville event and won the €10,000 High Roller for €200,000. That’s not all he’s done though.
Duhamel went to the NBC National Heads-Up Championship and placed fourth in a field that contained some of the best players in the world. Duhamel scored $125,000 for his finish there, eventually falling to fellow WSOP champion Chris Moneymaker.
When it came time for heads-up play at his Bounty Shootout table, Duhamel was heads up with none other than Moneymaker. The rematch only had to wait a few days and this time Duhamel came out on top.
Duhamel collected four bounties while sitting at the feature table on his starting day.
