Smith, Hunichen and Kulev Involved in Multi-Way Pot Early

Level 1 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alex Kulev
Alex Kulev

Alex Kulev opened the action in late position with a raise to 12,000 and was called by Dan Smith in the small blind and Chris Hunichen in the big blind.

Both players check-called a bet by Kulev on the 4?9?K? flop, which lead to Smith leading out for 45,000 on the J? turn. Things get interesting as Hunichen raised Smith's lead bet to 110,000 and Kulev re-raised both players to 450,000.

After some deliberation and one of Hunichen's time banks, both players decided to fold, sending the pot over to Kulev.
