ESPN WSOP Final Table Coverage

ESPN completed its 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event coverage on Tuesday with the thrilling final table action from the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. A number of decisive pots were downed and millions of dollars won as 23 year-old Canadian Jonathan Duhamel closed out his victory earlier this week.

Jason Senti was involved in the first action of note on Saturday as he eliminated Soi Nguyen. Senti tabled a Q-Q after Nguyen shoved for 7.6 million. A flop of Q-3-10 sent the talented Vietnam-born professional to the rails in 9th for a $811,823 share.

Matthew Jarvis and Michael Mizrachi contested a pivotal hand after both players moved all in pre flop. Jarvis' 9-9 was bettered by Mizrachi's A-Q as a flop of Q-8-Q hit the felt, but a 9 on the turn saw Jarvis complete a full house to put him back in control. The epic hand was eventually decided on the river. Mizrachi spiked the Ace he needed to complete his own better full house. Jarvis ($1,045,743) headed for the exit door in 8th place.

John Dolan ($1,772,959) was the next to fall as the dangerous Duhamel carded a 4-4 to down his Q-5. Duhamel continued to wreak havoc thereafter. His pocket aces took out Mizrachi's Q-8 to send the WSOP Double Crown winner home with a $2,332,992 share in fifth.

Filippo Candio ($3,092,545) had played out an eventful evening up to that point after benefiting from two bluffs to boost his chip count. However, his run came to an end when Joseph Cheong's A-3 held up with an A-7-2 flop and the action went three-handed.

Cheong opened up a commanding chip lead with that win but what followed will likely go down in WSOP history. The Korean lost the biggest pot since the event began in 1970 after six bet shoving for a huge $80 million with A-7. Duhamel held pocket queens and a board of 9-3-2-6-8 did Cheong no favors. Duhamel completed a remarkable turn around to send Cheong ($4,130,049) to the rails in 3rd place with A-2 just minutes later.

ESPN aired only two of the 43 hands from Monday's heads-up battle. The decisive final hand saw Duhamel close out his victory with an A-J. John Racener's ($5,545,955) K-8 was helpless as the board ran 4-4-9-6-5 and the Quebec native celebrated a momentous victory and a $8,994,310 payday.
