"Big Huni" Busts Three in Quick Succession
Arriving on the 2♥5♠J♣5♥A♦ river, Chris Hunichen checked from the big blind to Santhosh Suvarna in the hijack. Suvarna fired a bet of 145,000 into the pot of 280,000, only to be raised all-in by Hunichen.
Suvarna took some time to consider his options, but ultimately called off his stack of 420,000. Hunichen revealed 5♥4♦ for trip fives, sending the recent $50k champion to the rail with his A♣8♥.
Two hands later, Andrew Lichtenberger open-shoved his 240,000 remaining stack from the cutoff. Hunichen called on the button before big blind Ramiro Salinas three-bet all in for 725,000. Hunichen asked for a count, then called.
Andrew Lichtenberger: A♣3♠
Ramiro Salinas: A♦J♣
Chris Hunichen: 6♦6♣
Hunichen's pocket pair remained best on the 2♠3♣7♠K♠2♦ runout, eliminating two more players to increase his stack above the two-million mark.
