Kulev Knocks Out Hunichen
Niveau 15
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Chris Hunichen opened under the gun to 20,000 and was then three-bet to 60,000 by Alex Kulev in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Hunichen who then moved all in and was snap-called by Kulev, putting Hunichen at risk.

Alex Kulev: 
"Good luck," someone at the table told Hunichen, "Thanks, I'm going to need it," he replied when he saw what he was up against.
The flop of 
left Hunichen drawing slim, and the 
on the turn replaced his jack outs to only king outs for the straight. The river was especially brutal as it was the 
to give him the previously needed jack but that meant it gave Kulev the straight.
Hunichen exited the tournament area as Kulev was pushed the pot to boost his stack to over 700,000.
