Chris Hunichen's Hero Call Fails

Level 4 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Chris Hunichen
Chris Hunichen

As we arrived Chris Hunichen was already deep into the tank on the river, contemplating whether to call off all of his chips or not on a board of {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. After the hand was finished we asked David Peters what had happened leading up to that point.

Hunichen opened for 3,000 and Jean-Noel Thorel right next to him called. David Peters in the big blind came along for the ride as well.

On the {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop Peters checked. Hunichen made a continuation bet of 7,000 and both Thorel and Peters made the call. The {5-Diamonds} hit the turn and Peters checked again. Hunichen fired anther 17,000 and this time just Thorel made the call, Peters folded.

The river came the {6-Hearts} and Hunichen checked with about 62,000 behind. Jean-Noel Thorel moved all in for 80,400 and Hunichen went deep into the tank. He mumbled something about hero calling and how it didn't work out the last time. He tanked some more and eventually called.

Thorel pouted like he was beat, and showed {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Hunichen got up from the table, realized he had to show his cards because it was an all in, and smashed his {4-Spades}{5-Spades} on the table.

"Were you value betting or bluffing?" Hunichen asked.

Thorel, who doesn't speak much English, didn't reply and started stacking his chips.

"Were you value betting or bluffing?" Hunichen repeated. Thorel, who still didn't speak any English, again didn't reply.

"I guess you don't know either" Hunichen said. He wished the table good luck, and made his way to the exit.
