Players Club Member Jason Duval, who is a WSOP-bracelet winner and successful local pro, just lost two big pots to bust in 8th place on this final table of the Main Event. Incidentally, he lost both hands while holding a pair of Kings, and both times fell to QJ.
In this last hand, Norman Doucette opened to 155,000 from middle position, and tank-called 930,000 more after Jason Duval moved all-in from the big blind. Jason flipped over , but was outdrawn by the of Norman on a board.
That pot launched Norman just above the 3-million chip mark.
8th place: Jason Duval – $12,990
