When Jonathan Duhamel and John Racener returned for heads-up play on Monday evening, it took less than two hours for the Canadian pro to emerge victorious and be crowned world champion.

In the final hand of the day, Duhamel put Racener all-in holding ace-jack to the Floridian's king-eight, and the better hand held up to end the contest and crown Canada's first ever main event winner.

On Saturday the November Nine had played down to two, and a huge pot against Joseph Cheong - the largest in main event history, in fact, at 117.6 million chips - left Duhamel with a 6-to-1 chip lead going into the heads-up battle.
