The fifth hand of the day brought the first showdown.

Omar Zazay opened to 115,000 in middle position, and Chris Hunichen defended his big blind.

The flop was Ah8s5s. Hunichen checked, Zazay continued for 110,000, and Hunichen called. Both players checked through the 5c turn, and the river was the 3d. Hunichen bet 325,000, which represented just over half of his opponent’s remaining stack. Zazay eventually called.

Hunichen showed Kh4c for not much at all, and Zazay won the pot with 9s9d.

Omar Zazay – 1,485,000 (30 bb)
Chris Hunichen – 1,140,000 (23 bb)
