Smurfit Takes a Big Chunk from Hunichen

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

With about 5,000 chips already in the pot on a {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Spades} flop, action checked to Chris Hunichen in the hijack, and he bet 2,200. Alan Smurfit raised to 7,000 from the cutoff, a player in middle position folded, and Hunichen called after a few moments of contemplation.

The turn brought the {9-Hearts}, and both players checked.

The {9-Spades} fell on the river, and Hunichen bet 8,000. Smurfit raised to 25,000, and after sighing and re-checking his hole cards, Hunichen folded.

Smurfit took the pot to put his stack over the 100,000-chip mark.
