High Stakes Poker Season 7: Perkins Spews, Voulgaris Profits Big

Last week, reigning World Series of Poker Main Event champion Jonathan Duhamel got off to a fast start in the second session of this season’s High Stakes Poker. He finished the episode with over $100,000 in profits after turning the nuts against Bill Perkins, and rivering trips against Julian Movsesian. During this week’s episode, Duhamel cooled down a bit, Haralabos Voulgaris used the force to win a massive pot, and Perkins felt very charitable.
