WSOP Reports
One of the loudest final tables of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) so far, one defined by two-outers, three-outers and a rail whose energy would be hard to match, wrapped up tonight with longtime high-stakes pro Chris Hunichen winning his first bracelet and a career-high score of $2,838,389 in Event #47: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em.
“No one’s ever due in poker, but I feel like I was due,” Hunichen told PokerNews in a winner’s interview. “And I’ve been in this position a couple times, got unlucky, a couple seconds. It was my time.”
Hunichen’s poker resume includes a runner-up finish in a 2022 online $25,000 High Roller worth $1.3 million and a third place in the 2022 $250,000 Super High Roller for $1.9 million, but a bracelet had eluded “Big Huni.” Of the six players who returned for Day 3, only Hunichen and online Swedish wizard Viktor “Isildur1” Blom lacked bracelets.
Blom finished third for $1,311,091 just a week removed from a third-place finish in the $50,000 High Roller, while Jeremy Ausmus was denied a seventh bracelet with a runner-up finish worth. $1,892,260.
