Message: [QUOTE="baudib1, post: 1602037, member: 47606"] I think it was just a sick played hand by both and Duhamel got the better of Cheong. LOL at comparing this to Chan. Situations are totally different. 3-handed with MASSIVE ICM considerations vs. someone 5-betting a nit UTG is not remotely comparable. Duhamel himself said he has 5-bet bluffs in his range there. Duhamel gave the false impression that Cheong still had fold equity, and Cheong made maybe the sickest play (since Moneymaker) in WSOP history. kudos to both imo; I think A TON of people fold the QQ in that spot. Considering gameflow this type of massive hand was pretty much an inevitability (to wit: see A2o vs. 64s hand for 30 million chips or so; Duhamel calling off his stack with A9o vs. 2nd tightest player at the table; Duhamel making a stand after getting pushed around by Cheong and getting pushed off AA postflop and AK preflop earlier by others, etc.).
