Cunix Moves Over 100,000 Chips

Shawn Cunix has been on a tear in the last level. He had eliminated two opponents prior to the following hand:

On a flop of {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}, Cunix bet 500. A late-position player raised to 1,500 and Cunix made the call. The turn of the {9-Diamonds} was checked around. On the river of the {10-Hearts}, Cunix checked and his opponent bet 3,000. Cunix then check-raised all in.

After Cunix pushed he said, "I'll show you." His opponent, shaking his head, said, "People said if you don't have it, don't bet." Cunix replied, "You have two pair? You should fold."

Cunix's opponent called and showed {A-Spades} {10-Spades}. Cunix showed {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} for the flush. While stacking his chips, Cunix said, "I didn't know you had that much."

After the hand Cunix moved up to 105,000.
