Sucked out on in a massive pot that would likely have guaranteed him at least second-place money at the 2010 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, Duthie’s big hands held up this time around, pushing him into the final where previous heat winners Sam Trickett and Andrew Robl already await.
Getting there was no easy feat, however, as Duthie’s heat included 2007 WSOPE champion Annette Obrestad, veteran UK pros Barny Boatman and Liam Flood, plus online legend David ‘Viffer’ Peat.
The fourth heat will go off in London Wednesday and will include no less than WPT London Poker Classic champion Jake Cody, 2010 WSOP Player of the Year Frank Kassela, 2009 WSOPE finalist Praz Bansi and 2009 WPT Championship winner Yevgeniy Timoshenko.
The 48-player event will run until Friday with eight-seat heats putting seven players in the final.
The buy-in is $10,000 with a total prize pool of $480,000 and $200,000 reserved for the winner.
Phil Laak won in 2009.
