MONTREAL -- World poker champion Jonathan Duhamel says he was tied up, beaten in the face and head and told he was going to be killed.

But Duhamel’s success in the case may come down to whether he can prove his poker winnings were a result of luck. The Canadian government is trying to collect $1.2 million from Duhamel. This is despite the fact that poker winnings are generally in the clear in Canada, in part because it is considered a game of chance. Duhamel rocketed to stardom in 2010 when he won US$8.9 million in a poker tournament in Las Vegas, making him the first Canadian to capture the Main Event at the World Series of Poker. Total life earnings: $18,012,109. Latest cash: $20,000 on 15-Nov-2018. Click here to see the details of Jonathan Duhamel's 107 cashes.

A day after a brutal home invasion, Duhamel has posted a statement on his website saying he feels lucky to be alive.

'Two men broke into my house and I was physically assaulted and robbed,' Duhamel wrote on his website. 'After being threatened with death and having given them everything I had, I was bound and hit repeatedly in the face and body before my attackers left.'

Duhamel said he's hurting all over but he didn't sustain any major injuries. He is upset, however, that the robbers took his World Series of Poker champion's bracelet.

Also stolen was a Rolex Submariner watch given to him by his sponsor PokerStars to mark his feat. Both items were engraved with his name and the date of his triumph.

'I won't deny that these two items have a value much larger than money to me, and I hope with all my heart that we will be able to recover them in the near future,' Duhamel wrote.

Police detectives on Montreal's south shore were meeting with Duhamel, 24, on Thursday to get more information about the attack a day earlier.

Duhamel became internationally known in 2010 when he won $8.9 million in a poker tournament in Las Vegas. The professional poker player became the first Canadian to win the Main Event at the World Series of Poker.

Longueuil police spokesman Constable Patrick Barriere said Thursday investigators are considering that Duhamel was targeted. Of the stolen cash, some was in Canadian currency while some of it consisted of euros, in the form of 500 euro notes.
