Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Jonathan Duhamel and Chris Moneymaker have something very big in common in the poker world -- they've both won the World Series of Poker Main Event. Moneymaker won it back in 2003 and ignited the poker boom, which more than likely led to Duhamel getting interested in the game. Duhamel is the defending WSOP champion.

On the first big clash, Moneymaker was all in preflop for 81,000 with the {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} against Duhamel's {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} . The board ran out {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {7-Spades} {A-Spades} to give Moneymaker a full house and double him up.

Moments later, Duhamel was all in for 42,700 with the {J-Hearts} {J-Spades} against Moneymaker's {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} . The board ran out {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {9-Clubs} and Duhamel doubled back.
