Jonathan Duhamel, the 2010 WSOP main event winner, had an unwelcome visit on Wednesday when thieves broke into his house Boucherville, Quebec, Canda. According to a poker news site, two unknown persons entered his home at 9:15am on Wednesday and attacked him. However, the news site can't confirm whether or not the thieves got away with something.

Yes, very weird. We don't know yet why they did that. Probably to rob something very valuable, like his bracelet maybe? I don't think Jonathan is stupid enough to keep a lot of valuable stuff in his house though, we'll see.
Atleast he didn't get hurt too badly, they say he only suffered minor injuries.

Known poker players are “easy to define” targets for robbers. Of course that, when someone has a lot of money, tends to increase his own security, and I believe Jonathan Duhamel wouldn’t be different. Having him with some wounds makes everyone think about a fight between him and the thieves. And at least something they should have took out of his house, even if it was just a porcelain cup, it must have nice value…

That is sad! To think the only way to ensure your security is to have to live with bars on your windows, an electronic security system and be hind locked doors. That's how many people live in the big cities especially in California. And, you don't have to be very wealthy to require those items to be safe from burglars. At least he's healthy and maybe can provide some leads for authorities. Good Luck to All!

Funope 12/22/2011 9:46:44 PM GMT Is Canda a country?? Dude I hope you were only joking... but in case you weren't I will let you know that yes it is. It is actually the 2nd largest country in the world. As far as Mr Duhamel goes I would say that that really sucks. I hope they nail the buggers. I am very glad that he is ok.
------------ now that is funny I just called my country Canda Lmao Canada that is.
by the way don't you think that stealing is also work- and actually not very easy one
