We had heads up action between a middle position player and Jimmy Fricke on the button. The flop read 
and the middle position player bet out 1,200. Fricke justified it with himself and made the call.
The 
on the turn saw the middle position player slow down with a check. Fricke jumped on the opportunity and bet out 2,000 and the middle position player called.
The 
then made an appearance on the river and the middle position player saw something he liked and bet out 3,000. Fricke took about 30 seconds to think about his course of action before ultimately putting in the call. The Fricke's opponent then exposed 
for two pair, queens and threes. This was seemingly good enough as Fricke deposited his cards in the muck.

Duhamel's opponent led for 950, and the Canadian called.
Both players knuckled when the

Readers may remember Kenneth Wong's name from the 2012 Aussie Millions, with Wong finishing in second place for a A$1,000,000 score. He is in the field today and will be looking to add another seven-figure score to his resume.
We recently caught up with the action on Wong's table with a 
board out on the felt and with 17,000 already in the pot, with Wong going up against one opponent. The player opted to check to Wong and Wong bet 15,100 - leaving himself with just 300 behind. His opponent tanked for a long time before letting his hand go, sending the nice pot to Wong.
