This time, John Helou shoved on the turn of a 
board for 35,900 and was called by an opponent's 
.
Helou's boat was good after the river bricked out and scooped a much needed double up.

Duhamel Out, MacDonald In
Level 6
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The 2010 WSOP Main Event champion has recently been eliminated here on Day 1b and looks like he has chosen not to re-enter today. No sweat for the world champ though as he can register for Day 1c tomorrow, Day 1d Monday morning or even buy-in directly to Day 2.
Occupying an empty seat at Duhamel's former table is Alyssa MacDonald. MacDonald is a 2017 World Cup of Cards title holder after taking down Event #4: $330 6-Max Bounty for $7,500 during the first week of the festival.

Every Friday during the World Cup of Cards is Golden Ticket Fridays here at Playground Poker Club. All day long a wheel spins, landing on a specific high-hand. The first player to make the high-hand gets to pick from 10 prize boxes with various rewards inside including partypoker Powerfest tickets, live event satellite tickets, and more.
Anyone who earns a Golden Ticket gets a raffle ticket and this morning a draw for a $10,000 partypoker Caribbean Poker Party package took place.
The winner was Michael Korovine. Korovine is in play today but is unfortunately on his second bullet, busting his initial starting stack earlier in the day.
