Level 25 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Chris Hunichen raised to 2,400,000 from the button and Santhosh Suvarna defended in the big blind.

The dealer spread the 4♥2♠10♠ and Suvarna played in flow. Hunichen continued for 1,600,000 and Suvarna check-raised to 3,800,000.

The action fell back on Hunichen, who elected to three-bet jam for 17,600,000 and Suvarna snap-called.

Chris Hunichen: K♠3♠ All in
Santhosh Suvarna: 10♦2♦

Suvarna's two pair was in front but Hunichen had outs to a flush. The K♦ turn gave Hunichen additional ways to stay alive, but the 8♥ river confirmed his departure for $2,397,312; Hunichen's second seven-figure score of the week, having won the $100,000 High Roller just five days ago.
