Melburn Whitmire had Jonathan Duhamel on the ropes for most of the match, before Duhamel came back with quads to even things up.
Whitmire then had a chance to win with A-J against the A-K of Duhamel, but the world champion flopped a flush to cripple his amateur opponent. The next hand, Duhamel won a coinflip to move on to the next round to face Antonio Esfandiari.
