Big Huni Sends One to the Rail

Level 5 : 100/300, 300 ante

Chris Hunichen was down to just over 8,000 chips earlier in the day, but he's recovering nicely and just recently eliminated a player to move back over 40,000.

In the hand, the player opened from early position with a raise to 800. Hunichen was in middle position and he three-bet, making it 2,000. Action folded back to the player who called.

The flop was {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and action checked to Hunichen who bet 2,200. His opponent moved all in and Hunichen quickly called the shove for 11,800.

Chris Hunichen: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {Q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The turn was the {A-Diamonds}, which was one of the outs that Hunichen needed, and the river was the {J-Diamonds}, keeping him in the lead. He took down the pot and that allowed him to move over 40,000 chips.
