LONGUEUIL, Quebec -- Four people have been arrested in the beating and robbery of professional poker champion Jonathan Duhamel.

Police say two men and one woman were charged Wednesday in connection with the case and a fourth person was arrested and questioned.

Duhamel's World Series of Poker championship bracelet and a high-end Rolex watch were stolen, along with cash, during a home invasion and robbery on Dec. 21.

Duhamel was badly beaten and tied up during the attack in Longueuil, just south of Montreal.

Police were able to trace the poker star's Rolex to a community south of Quebec City. The bracelet has not been found.
