Shamus

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The eliminations are coming quickly as we approach the end of the first one-hour level of Day 3. The latest one came in a three-way hand that developed between Jonathan Duhamel, Robert Merulla, and Wesley Pantling.

A preflop UTG raise from Duhamel resulted in both Pantling (SB) and Merulla (BB) calling, creating a 23,000 pot. The flop came {3-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {9-Hearts} , and Pantling led with a bet of 44,000. Merulla called the bet, then Duhamel raised all in for 427,000 total. Pantling called, and Merulla stepped aside.

Pantling {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}
Duhamel {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts}

Duhamel was behind, but heart could change that quickly. But the turn was the {8-Clubs} and river the {7-Spades} , and the 2010 WSOP Main Event champion hit the rail in 15th.
