Hunichen Busts Foxen With Six-High

Liam Gannon

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Matthew Zambanini raised to 70,000 in the hijack and Chris Hunichen called on the button. In the big blind, Alex Foxen moved all in for 250,000 which saw Zambanini fold and Hunichen shook his head.

"I have six high," he said while pondering his decision.

"I literally thought you had seven-four suited when you called," Foxen replied with a grin on his face.

"Same spot as yesterday," Hunichen continued "but I was more willing to double that guy up."

Hunichen contemplated his decision for a little bit longer before ultimately deciding to put in his chips to put Foxen at risk.

Alex Foxen: 9?9?
Chris Hunichen: 6?3?

The flop of 4?A?Q? shrunk Hunichen's chances of winning, but the turn 5? saw the door open up in the form of an open ended straight draw and Hunichen commented "always a sweat."

The river 2? saw Hunichen make a straight to the six and Foxen laughed as he pushed the chips over to Hunichen remarking "what are you doing man?"

"I did try," Hunichen responded as he added to his chip lead while Foxen exited the tournament.
