Most of the other players would’ve been rooting for Jonathan Duhamel in this heads-up battle, but it’s Daniel ‘Jungleman’ Cates who’s prevailed and taken down the maximum 16 points (and $32,000) on offer.
The key hand in heads-up play came when Duhamel raised with king-eight and then called Jungleman’s three-bet, the latter had them aces. On the queen high flop Jungelman c-bet, Duhamel raised all-in, Jungleman snap called and his hand held up.
That left Duhamel with just 62,000 and although he got it all the way back up over 300,000 he couldn’t get a serious foot hold in the match and Jungleman took the victory.
