Chris Hunichen’s tournament continued to move in the right direction with two chunky wins back to back.

After a raise from Hunichen, John Pierce moved all in on a short stack of 69,000 chips and Hunichen called. The players showed their cards for a flip:

John Pierce: 5♣5♠ All in
Chris Hunichen: K♠Q♣

The runout was 6♥9♥9♣Q♠J♦, giving Hunichen the winning pair and eliminating Pierce.

Just a hand earlier, Hunichen also took one from Dan Harrington, who is sitting directly to his right.

Harrington opened from the cutoff to 22,000, Hunichen made it 62,000 on the button.

Harrington called the raise and the players saw the flop of 2♠K♣8♣. Harrington checked and Hunichen bet out 35,000 on the flop. Harrington folded, and the dealer sent a pot of about 150,000 chips to Hunichen.

Niveau 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Daniel Weinman in the big blind and Pedro Bromfman, sitting under the gun, were all in before the flop.

Daniel Weinman: A♠A♦ All in
Pedro Bromfman: Q♣Q♥

The board was K♥K♦A♥2♥6♣, giving Weinman a full house and the double-up.

The very next hand the players were all in preflop yet again:

Daniel Weinman: Q♥10♥
Pedro Bromfman: K♠Q♠ All in

This time Weinman had to come from behind. The flop was 8♣4♣4♠, the turn Q♦ gave both players two pair, but Bromfman had the better kicker and was way ahead. However, the lucky 10♠ on the river gave the champ the win yet again, and Bromfman had to hit the rail.

Niveau 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Dan Harrington moved all in for 94,000 under the gun before Nenad Dukic reraised to 172,000 in the hijack. "Gamble for $10K," Qui Nguyen said as he shoved for 560,000 in the big blind. Dukic, with around 350,000 remaining, then went into the tank.

"If you win we go gamble it away. Play some baccarat," Keith Lehr told Nguyen. Dukic eventually folded, leaving Nguyen heads-up against Harrington.

Dan Harrington: 10♥8♠ All in
Qui Nguyen: A♣5♣

Nguyen hit a pair on the 5♠6♠2♦ flop, then improved to trips on the 5♦ turn to leave Harrington needing to complete a straight on the river.

The 8♦ river arrived to late for Harrington as he was sent to the rail while Nguyen collected his third Main Event bounty of the day.
