Chris Hunichen opened to 6,000 from middle position and Kelvin Kerber three-bet to 18,000 from the cutoff. Hunichen made the call.
The flop came 9♥4♠3♥ and Hunichen check-called a 13,000 continuation bet from Kerber.
Hunichen check-called another bet from Kerber on the 3♦ turn, this time for 18,000.
On the 9♣ river Hunichen checked once more and Kerber bet enough to put Hunichen all in for his remaining 40,500. Hunichen made the call.
Kerber tabled K♠K♥ for kings and nines while Hunichen showed down A♠A♦ for aces up to take the pot.
The very next hand, Hunichen found himself all in with a covering stack against an early position player who had roughly 50,000.
Early Position: A♦J♦
Chris Hunichen: J♣J♠
Hunichen was very far ahead with top set on the J♥8♣6♦ flop and by the 7♥ turn his opponent was drawing dead. After the 5♦ river was dealt Hunichen scooped another healthy pot while sending his opponent to the rail.
