Duhamel vs. "The Thrill"
Will "The Thrill" Failla opened for 3,500 from early position and was met with a three-bet to 8,400 by Jonathan Duhamel in the hijack. The rest of the field got out of the way, Failla called the additional 4,900, and it was heads-up to the 

flop.
Failla ended up check-calling a bet of 8,200 before leading out for 7,000 on the
turn. Duhamel thought for a moment before tossing his cards to the muck.
"I had the flop and the turn," Failla said. "Ace-king."
"Nuts?" Duhamel asked and received a positive response. "I had queens."
