He was the last man standing in a field of 112 players in the $100,000 buy-in no-limit hold\u2019em event, marking the biggest win of his career.<\/p>\n<p>During a tense three-handed phase, Hunichen faced potential elimination. With his pocket fives up against Jeremy Ausmus\u2019s Ace-Jack, Hunichen was at risk when an ace appeared on the turn. Yet, a five on the river saved him, giving him a set and a vital chip boost. After many dramatic moments, Hunichen emerged victorious, achieving his first WSOP gold bracelet.<\/p>\n<p>This win significantly boosted Hunichen\u2019s live tournament earnings to nearly $16 million. The 39-year-old from Clayton, North Carolina, has also accumulated substantial earnings online over almost two decades.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt has been tough. One of the hardest years of my life, with my Dad passing,\u201d<\/em> Hunichen shared.<em> \u201cHe was my biggest fan, he supported me from the beginning.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Feeling confident about his win, he added, \u201cIt felt destined. I really felt like I was gonna win this one. Some of my friends flew in from all over the world to be here for me for this moment.
