Jonathan Duhamel (born August 24, 1987) is a French-Canadian poker professional from Boucherville, Quebec, best known as the winner of the Main Event at the 2010 World Series of Poker (WSOP). He is the first Canadian player to capture the Main Event bracelet.[1][2][3]
In January 2011, Duhamel won the High Roller Event at the European Poker Tour (EPT) Deauville for €200,000 ($272,209).[4] Later that year, he cashed twice at the 2011 World Series of Poker for over $40,000 in earnings.[5]
As of 2011, his live tournament winnings exceed $9,500,000, the majority of which comes from his $8.9 million first place prize at the 2010 Main Event.[6]
A fan of the Montreal Canadiens, Duhamel elected to donate $100,000 of his winnings to the Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation, which is the largest individual donation ever made to the organization.[7]
Duhamel was badly beaten in a home invasion robbery in December 2011. His Main Event bracelet and a Rolex watch were stolen. Three individuals have since been arrested and a fourth questioned about the crime.[8]
