Cunix Picks Off a Bluff

On a flop of {3-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {7-Clubs}, a middle-position player checked to Shawn Cunix in the cutoff, who bet out 1,500. His opponent called. The turn fell the {8-Diamonds} and action was again checked to Cunix , who bet out 3,000. Again, Cunix's opponent called. The river fell the {A-Clubs} and Cunix's opponent bet out 6,000. Cunix made the call.

Cunix showed {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} and his opponent showed {4-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. After the hand, Cunix said, "Nice river bet. I would have folded if the river didn't help my hand."

Cunix is up to 29,500 in chips.
