Chris Hunichen Eliminated

Chris Hunichen, Lawrence Martone, and Thom Werthmann got involved in a pot that resulted in the elimination of Hunichen.

Werthmann was all in for the main pot while Hunichen and Martone had action on the side. The players showed:

Hunichen: {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs}
Werthmann: {K-Clubs} {10-Hearts}
Martone: {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {3-Clubs} giving Werthmann a Broadway straight, Martone top pair top kicker, and Hunichen the losing pair of sevens.

Hunichen was eliminated and Werthmann tripled up to approximately 170,000 when he took down the main pot. There was a substantial side pot that went to Martone and he now sits on about 570,000 chips.
