The only thing thats changing is the sheer amount of people playing.

[madawgz]

he was already a successful online poker player before he won this

[seeandsee]

mother fucker bluff them all

[dancent]

i saw his playing style,but he doesnt deserve to win WSOP.He knocked out Matt Aflleck with JJ vs AA,fuckin calling station

[adwank]

Congrats to him!

[Randy West]

I wonder what he gets paid to sport all of those logos all over his gear

[CamTraffic]

Nice to see a Quebecois winning!

That's still pretty true for the most part. Yeh, the big tournaments often have new guys with very deep runs, but if you look at the final table you will see a lot of guys that have been there multiple times before and have won many other big tournaments.

This guy isn't a lucky hack, he's a player.

Anybody know when this airs?

[bloggerz]

nice congrats to him

[chronig]

Next year it'll be blackvaginafinder winning...

He's taking a break from getting his aids infested penis sucked from ghetto crack nigra whores and playing poker professionally.

He's already watched a poker for dummies DVD and has currently been tearing it up with an average of winning 100$/day on PokerStars.net play money tables.

He's stepped it up to the .05/.10 cent NO LIMIT games, but took quite the beating losing a whopping 6 dollars over the past two weeks. Don't work BVF - that's poker and I'm sure you'll be in the green in no time.

[BlackCrayon]

he'll be dead of an "od" soon..

[fatfoo]

It's sure a huge amount of money.

[woj]

impressive

That's because poker isn't a game purely based on skill.

You play poker? Don't tell me you never got lucky.

[Supz]

Congrats to him. Although my boy Grinder and his brother killed it this year in the WSOP.

I am playing poker for 3years, sponsored player...
I just dont like to see pro players when they are playing like amateurs

[TheStout]

Go canada!!!

[djroof]

congrats.....

[madawgz]

he signed on with team pokerstars pro

im pretty sure they started him with a 1M/year salary to only play with them

Playing like amateurs is different from getting lucky. You can get lucky either way.
I haven't seen the game yet so I can't judge the play.

[Roby]

congrat to him

I honestly have no idea but I would guess that in order to win a tournament of thatsize, you'd have to get lucky and win when an underdog at least a dozen times. Probably more than that, and that's not counting winning coin-flip situations which you'd likely have to win more than your fair share of as well. There IS skill involved but with how many highly skilled players in these tournaments now, luck actually plays a HUGE factor.

Yeah, that hand just devastated Affleck. Even if Duhamel put Affleck on a higher pair he still had 10 outs because of the 9/10/q flop. Still though, to call his entire stack when Affleck pushed on the turn was not the correct call, but of course the 8 hit the river to give him a straight and crack Affleck's aces and send him home.

[LeRoy]

Nice pile o' cash for him! Lucky fucker

JJ wins 40% of the time here when facing a over pair. I'll have to wait n see what kind of pot odds he was getting to say if it was a bad call.

Edit. It's only 22% on the turn. Maybe he thought his JJ was good.

Amazingly, I've seen every episode probably three times now and have yet to see that episode.

So it was after the flop? Either before or after the flop, I don't see calling all in with JJ that terrible of a call? Risky, no doubt. I've also seen Affleck play with crap. I probably wouldn't call all in with JJ, but I'm no tournament winner either LOL.

[DiF0r]

Wow that's something

[pornguy]

Good for him. I hope he is smart enough not to blow it.

[fuzebox]

You can't just look at the one hand and go "omg it was a bad call"... Did Affleck bluff him out earlier? He could have made the call based on Affleck's behavior rather than his pot odds and what he put him on.

Flop was something like 6 9 10 Rainbow... Johnathan checks, matt bets, turn is Q... Jonathan checks, matt moves in for like 11 mil, Jonathan waits for like 5 seconds (TV wise anyways), and calls, BINK 8 on river..... Matt cries, throws water bottles etc etc, but wouldn't you? Finished 80th last year and i think 14th this year, sucks :/

I can't imagine he put Affleck on a bluff, just think he felt he had 10 outs to win and was willing to risk it. I don't think pot odds really mattered at this point as he had to call for his entire tournament life and was only 6 players from making the final table. I don't think I would have called in that spot, I think if he folds at that point he still would have had close to 80 big blinds.

Here's the hand, after rewatching, I think Affleck should have 5bet shoved pre flop. I think he just called the 4bet to trap, although I'm sure now after watching again that Duhamel would have called if Matt had shoved pre flop, so I guess it doesn't matter.

[BabeHunter]

damn that's nice

[solopimps]

It's possible he calls pre with JJ... If matt shoves he really isnt getting the odds to call and he would have to think he is up against AK at worst, but who knows... Jonathan made a few plays throughout the tournament that made it clear he is willing to gamble, so maybe the money was going in no matter what and whats meant to be is meant to be lol. Congrats to him though, making your way through a field of 7k+ isn't just luck.

Ouch that would hurt.

I don't think either of them really played that terribly wrong. I can see where each of them was coming from in their decisions. Matt got a really bad flop, maybe should have pushed harder after that? Matt could have done things different, Jonathan could have done things different... would the outcome have been much different? Its poker, shit happens.

Yep, I agree with that, I'm not sure if either one of them did something different that the outcome would have changed.

Really I think if AA ships it here JJ has no choice to fold. I don't think he was going anywhere after the flop.

[O MARINA]

mother fucker bluff them all

good for him

[Kenny B!]

Good on him, nice to see a local boy take it down!

duhamel thought he was behind vs a T9... he thought he was behind the whole way. he was just dumping chips in that hand and affleck got unlucky

[dancent]

Yep,ofcourse that wasnt correct call for Duhamel,he was gambling in that hand and i think that he risk to much at that stage of the tournament.
Its simply,when you are beat you must give up and fold,i doubt that Affleck would bluff his all stack at that point

[lazycash]

Really I think if AA ships it here JJ has no choice to fold. I don't think he was going anywhere after the flop.

Yeah, I'd like to think he'd fold jj pre flop to a shove, but I also thought he'd fold the turn, so who knows. Duhamel made some questionable calls earlier in the tourney for all his chips and he sucked out, so who knows if he'd have laid down jacks.

[deserv]

The problem is that on the turn he had alot of outs against a bigger pocket pair but to risk it all.. hmmm

big cajones i guess, congrats to him winning though

[baddog]

Same response to both - online poker has changed things, big time.

haha, if I get pocket A's I lose. 95% of the time. I thought they both did right.

mother fucker bluff them all

That was not a bluff. He even asked, "tens and nines?"

[lazycash]

Yeah, my feelings also, although watching it again I realize that Duhamel had Affleck covered by 8 mil, so even if he didn't hit one of his ten outs he still would have had some chips, even though he would have then been one of the short stacks. Instead he becomes the chip leader and Affleck is out.
