Hunichen Comes From Behind

Chris "Big Huni" Hunichen used a timely river card to send his latest victim to the rail. Norway's "golferen50" min-raised to 24,000 from middle position and Hunichen moved all in from the big blind for more than 306,000, having his opponent covered. golferen50 called with {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and was poised to double up against Hunichen's {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, but the {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades} board gave Hunichen a pair of eights and a pot worth more than 470,000.

Mickey Petersen Eliminated

Any hopes of a Team PokerStars pro winning the WCOOP Main Event were dashed with the elimination of Mickey "mement_mori" Petersen in 52nd place. Just before the break, Petersen ran his {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} into the {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} of high-stakes cash regular "WhySoSrsSon" and failed to improve, sending the Team PokerStars Online member to the rail.

WhySoSrsSon is now among the chip leaders with more than 1.6 million.

..."shuriken555".

Andrey "ThePateychuk" Pateychuk opened to 24,000 in middle position. Next to act in the hijack, "shuriken555" re-raised to 58,000. Action folded back to Pateychuk who after a few moments four-bet to 144,600. Into the tank went "shuriken555", who emerged with a five-bet to 231,200.

Pateychuk had enough, six-bet shoving for his entire stack of 793,732. An immediate call from "shuriken555" revealed {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}. Pateychuk was crushed with {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} and found no help from the board when it came down {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs}.
