Loo then made a bold preflop move that backfired, sending him out in third place. It was another valiant effort from the Team PokerStars Pro, but Duhamel will have to wait to get his second WSOP bracelet.įollowing their exits from the final table, both Ausmus and Duhamel hopped into Event #3, an AUD$2,200 mixed-game event that kicked off at 4 p.m. Loo tabled Q ♠ Q ♣ for a set of queens, and a disappointed Duhamel tossed his A x 8 x into the muck before making his way out of the final table arena. The 10 ♦ came on the river, and Loo bet enough to put Duhamel all in, and the former world champ called. The turn was the A ♣, and Loo led out for 120,000.

Loo fired 66,000 into the pot, and Duhamel called. Duhamel made the call in position and watched the flop roll out 8 ♥ 2 ♥ Q ♦. The 2010 WSOP Main Event champ opened with a preflop raise to 35,000 from under the gun, and the action folded over to Loo, who three-bet to 86,000 from the big blind. Ausmus was in dire shape with the A ♦ 7 ♥ against Loo's A ♠ J ♦, and the 4 ♥ J ♣ 7 ♦ Q ♠ 5 ♠ board sent Ausmus to the cashier to collect his AUD$54,337 in prize money.ĭuhamel's bid for a second WSOP bracelet fell short again when Loo eliminated him in fourth place. After Loo raised to 32,000 preflop, Ausmus moved all in for more than 300,000, and Loo took little time before calling. But the 6 ♥ on the river filled his opponent's straight, and Putt hit the rail in sixth place for AUD$41,610.Ģ012 October Niner Jeremy Ausmus was the next to go. The flop came A ♠ 7 ♥ 8 ♠, giving Karamalikis a few more outs to a straight, and the Q ♦ on the turn left Putt one card away from winning a big pot.

Putt was dead on with his read that the Aussie pro was getting out of line, but he was only a 64% favorite to double up, according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator. Putt decided to make a stand and moved all in for around 150,000 total, and Karamalikis felt priced in to call. Karamalikis then squeezed with a three-bet to 87,000 from the big blind, prompting folds from Ausmus and Piccioli. Ausmus opened with a raise to 25,000 from the cutoff and Piccioli (button) and Graeme Putt (small blind) called.
