Duek Cracks Hunichen's Aces
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Chris Hunichen got all of his 100,000 chips into the middle preflop, and Michael Duek made the call to try to end his tournament.
Chris Hunichen: A♦A♥J♠4♣
Michael Duek: K♥K♦7♦6♥
Hunichen was in great shape with aces versus Duek's kings. However, the dealer put out a flop of 7♠K♣9♦ to put Duek in the lead with top set. The 9♣ turn improved Duek to a boat and meant only an ace on the river could save Hunichen. The river was the Q♥ and Hunichen was out.
