Hunter Clubbed

Kellen Hunter - Eliminated
Kellen Hunter - Eliminated
Kellen Hunter raised in middle position and was called by Robert Caiaffa in the small blind, and Larry Wright in the big blind. They saw a three-way flop of {8-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {2-Clubs}. Caiaffa led out at the pot with a bet of 125,000. He was called by Wright before Hunter moved all in for a total of 459,000. Caiaffa made the call; Wright folded.

Caiaffa: {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs}
Hunter: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}

It was Hunter's overpair versus Caiaffa's naked flush draw. Caiaffa won the battle when the turn immediately came {3-Clubs} to make his flush and give him an unbeatable hand. The board paired on the river with the {3-Hearts}.

Hunter was eliminated on the hand. Caiaffa fell to his knees when he made the flush, shouted "Yes!" then stood back up and dragged in his chips.
