Jonathan Duhamel, a Canadian poker professional from Quebec, best known as the winner of the Main Event at the 2010 World Series of Poker managed to defeat all his opponents on the way to victory in the One Drop High Roller tournament, the event with the highest buy-in for this years WSOP. Quite a good timing, as Duhamel lost his PokerStars sponsorship earlier this year.
The field consisted of 135 players that all fought hard to take it down, but ultimately it was Duhamel that is taking home $3,989,985 first prize.
The final table was star-packed as well with players like Ben Sulsky, Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Colman and Duhamel himself. With this win Duhamel takes his lifetime tournament winnings to $16,819,897. This is also his second gold WSOP bracelet.
We have to mention the action of second place finisher, businessman Bill Klein. Klein, after finishing as a runner-up decided to donate every single dollar out of his $2,465,522 prize to the One Drop charity. This is around three times as much as the tournament raised for the foundation from the buy-in fees ($750,000)
