Hunichen Gets a Massive Influx of Chips

Jeremy Geist

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The action folded to Chris Hunichen in the small blind who raised to 35,000. Bracelet winner Paul Hizer thought for awhile before announcing "all in" from the big blind. This was a massive jam. Potentially a chip-leading pot.

Hunichen looked frustrated as he got a count and found that he had Hizer covered. After about a minute in the tank, Hunichen put in the chips and the cards were on their back.

Paul Hizer: 5♦5♠
Chris Hunichen: A♦10♦

The 6♠10♣4♣ flop catapulted Hunichen into the lead and the 7♥ turn and 2♠ river were no help as Hizer hit the rail.

Hunichen might be the chip leader after this pot at about 1,700,000.

"I call, I have quads," said Kadosh.

Uri Kadosh: 8♣8♠

The 6♠ ended the hand, and Kadosh eliminated his opponent with quads over a full house.
