Enter the Cunix

Our current chip lead is Shawn Cunix. This is his second Main Event. He played two years ago and said that he was an early chip leader and got involved in a lot of hands and lost that lead. He got into this year's Main Event through an online satellite. He enters today's Main Event with over $153,000 in career tournament earnings. Currently, Cunix sits with 105,000 in chips.

I will get him to join BadBeatsPoker when he gets back.

Bernard Lee Doubles Up with Queen High

With the board reading on the turn, Bernard Lee moved all in for 6,500, sending Shawn Cunix into the tank. "I know I'm behind, but I have to call" said Cunix. He turned over for an open-ended straight draw. "I can't believe I'm in the lead!" cried Lee, tabling the . The river was the and Lee won the pot with only queen-high. "Oh my God" he said, taking a mini-bow. "I need to give that guy a hug!" Lee made good on his promise and darted around the table to embrace Cunix. Lee doubled up to 25,000 on the hand, but Cunix isn't hurting in the least. He's still sitting on 142,000 and is the current chip leader.
