Hunichen and Ibanez Clash in Massive Pot
Action folded to Chris Hunichen on the button who raised to 400,000. Johann Ibanez three-bet from the small blind to 1,800,000.
Action folded back to Hunichen who thought for about a minute before announcing all in. Ibanez quickly double checked his cards and announced call, officially putting himself at risk and headed to a run out.
Johann Ibanez: Q♥Q♠
Chris Hunichen: A♠4♠
Hunichen was headed to the flop needing help, but the 2♥7♠Q♦ was the opposite. Hunichen, now dead to running spades, started counting up the chips as the 10♥ and 5♣ hit the turn and river.
This pot represented a massive swing as Ibanez rockets up to the top of the chip counts where Hunichen has been all day while Hunichen plummeted toward the bottom of the counts for the first time all day.
