Bryce Yockey: XxXx/K♠9♦3♦K♣
Chris Hunichen: XxXx/A♣4♥K♦4♦ - folded on sixth street

Heads-up on fourth street, Bryce Yockey called a bet from Chris Hunichen and then raised a bet from Hunichen on fifth. Hunichen called.

Yockey paired his king on sixth street and bet — sending Hunichen into the tank.

"Oh my God, you just have to have a boat, right?" Hunichen asked as he mulled over his decision. No answer.

"Alright, nice hand," Hunichen said as he sent his cards into the muck.

Yockey collected the pot without showing.
