Smith, Hunichen and Kulev Involved in Multi-Way Pot Early

Alex Kulev opened the action in late position with a raise to 12,000 and was called by Dan Smith in the small blind and Chris Hunichen in the big blind.

Both players check-called a bet by Kulev on the 4♠9♥K♠ flop, which lead to Smith leading out for 45,000 on the J♣ turn. Things get interesting as Hunichen raised Smith's lead bet to 110,000 and Kulev re-raised both players to 450,000.

After some deliberation and one of Hunichen's time banks, both players decided to fold, sending the pot over to Kulev.
