Duhamel Ready to Gamble

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

Justin Young raised from early position to 250 and received one call before Jonathan Duhamel re-raised to 1,225. Action folded back around to Young who wasted little time sticking his final 3,850. The player who called the initial raise folded and Duhamel thought for a bit before making the call.

Young: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Duhamel: {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The flop was {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades} which put Young way ahead but the {k-Diamonds} turn changed the landscape of the hand. Young seemed nervous about the river, but settled down when it landed the {4-Hearts}. He has now chipped up to 8,100 while Duhamel falls to about 1,200.
