After just winning a big pot off of Randy Dorfman, Jonathan Duhamel has dropped back down to around 300,000 chips.

Robert Merulla raised in the cutoff, Johnathan Duhamel re-raised on the button, and Merulla moved all in for 218,000. Duhamel called.

Merulla: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Duhamel: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Duhamel's kings were cracked as the board ran {9-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, doubling Merulla to over 400,000 chips.
