Nitsche check-called a bet of 40,000 from Hunichen, bringing the 3♣ turn. Nitsche checked again and Hunichen moved all in, putting himself at risk. Nitsche snap called.

Chris Hunichen: Q♦J♥ All in
Dominik Nitsche: 3♥3♠

Hunichen saw the bad news when Nitsche tabled his cards, revealing quads. The meaningless Q♥ landed on the river and Hunichen was sent to the rail.
