Champ Cripples Champ
In a momentous confrontation between two former WSOP Main Event Champions, it was Jonathan Duhamel (2010) who prevailed over Greg Raymer (2004).
We saw Raymer with a bet of 350 in front of him, another caller in between, and Duhamel having raised the pot. Fossilman asked for a count of the Canadian pro's chips, and after assessing the situation he elected to make the call.

Duhamel said nothing in reply, revealing his 
in stoic silence.
Raymer confirmed that the kings were in the lead, saying "those will work too I suppose," before watching the flop fall 
.
"Deuce!" was Raymer's refrain, as he hoped to spike another to make trips and catch up, but the turn and river came 
and 
respectively, leaving Raymer with little more than a big blind to work with.
Raymer would bust out just a few hands later, and as he departed the tournament floor, we noticed that 2009 Main Event winner Joe Cada had also been eliminated, leaving our field with two less stars.
