Hunt Gets Hunted
Matthew Hunt opened the action from middle position to 1,300. Joshua Jacobson called from the button, and Uri Reichenstein completed from the big blind.
Three ways to a flop of A♣9♠6♥ and action checked around.
The J♦ turn incited a bet from Reichenstein to the tune of 3,700 chips. Hunt agreed while Jacobson got out of the way.
Chaos ensued on a K♣ river as Reichenstein bet out 9,000. This was followed by a raise from Hunt forcing Reichenstein to make a decision for his remaining 32,000 chips and his tournament life. Unfazed, Reichenstein entered the tank for a few moments and elected to make the call.
Matthew Hunt: Q♣J♠
Uri Reichenstein: A♠10♥
An elite-level hand by both players, but in the end, Hunt's attempt to force Reichenstein out of this pot was sniffed out.
