When Shawn Cunix arrived at Table 4 after re-entering in the last level of the night, the chips started flying. In his first hand, he shoved the river in a reraise bluff. In his second hand, Cunix got it all in on the flop with a pair of deuces against a set of tens. (Spoiler alert: He lost that one.)

What will happen in Hand #3?

Cunix raises UTG+1 to 2,000, Jean Gaspard calls from the hijack, Ryan Olisar calls from the cutoff, and Lazaro Hernandez moves all in from the small blind for 18,700.

Cunix quickly says, “I call,” but when he realizes he has more chips than Hernandez, he meant to go all in. But it’s just a call.

Gaspard folds, and Olisar moves all in for 49,000. Cunix calls all in for a total of 44,500, and all three players turn over their cards.

The board comes Diamond 5Club 3Club 2Club 10Club 5, and Cunix pairs his three on the flop to scoop the entire pot, eliminating Hernandez and doubling thru Olisar.

In his first three hands at Table 4, Shawn Cunix shoved all in three times, winning twice and losing once, to run up his 40K starting stack to 111,300.
