Jonathan, Meet Jonathan
Throughout the first two days of this event, we have followed Jonathan Driscoll and documented his success in this year's $1,000 NLH tourneys. The Canadian native has made two deep runs in prior $1k events, finishing in 10th place in Event # 8, and he is doing his best to surpass that milestone here today.
We found ourselves wondering where Driscoll drew the motivation to enter the minefields of the massive donkament fields. During a recent break, we watched Driscoll and a buddy exchanging strategy tips and talking poker along the rail.
Upon closer inspection, Driscoll's sounding board turned out to be none other than Jonathan Duhamel, the defending Main Event champion who has made his own deep runs in the 2011 WSOP. Apparently the two are friends and this connection sheds some light on Driscoll's dominant run in the smaller buy-in events. With Duhamel on hand to provide advice and guidance, Driscoll is armed with the knowledge and experience necessary to bring another gold bracelet back to Canada
