Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Ben Heath raised to 45,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Chris Hunichen, who called in the big blind.
Hunichen checked the 
flop to see Heath continue for 40,000 chips. Hunichen then three-bet to 130,000 and quickly called when Heath moved all-in.
Chris Hunichen: 
Ben Heath: 
Hunichen was ahead with two pair, but needed to fade Heath's flush draw. The turn 
and river 
were safe for Hunichen, who doubled his stack while leaving Heath very short.
Heath then proceeded to win his next two hands, staying alive and recovering some of his lost chips.

Over the past century, poker has permeated pop culture, especially when it comes to motion pictures. Long before the “Poker Boom”, and even before the World Series of Poker (WSOP) was a thing, poker had already made its big screen debut.
Over the decades, poker fans have been treated to a plethora of poker movies, some good and others not so much. Some well-received poker films include the western comedy Maverick (1994), Survivor host Jeff Probst’s debut film Finder’s Fee (2001), the improv-inspired The Grand (2007), indie comedy darling Hitting the Nuts (2010), and the high-profile Hollywood flick Molly’s Game (2017).
All of those are among the best poker movies of all time, and if this article was “Top 10” instead of “Top 5 Poker Movies,” chances are they’d make the final list. However, the PokerNews crew got together, along with input from social media, to determine the top five must-watch poker movies of all time.

Kisacikoglu led out for 135,000 on the 
flop, which Yan called before both players checked the turn.

river, this time for 340,000 chips. Yan did not take long before making the call, and mucked his hand after Kisacikoglu tabled for top two pair.

river.
