“It’s really good, I never devalued my stack. God is good, for sure,” said Hunkin when Matt Savage asked him about his hot streak to start the year (Hunkin also won the $1,000 preliminary event at Bay 101 Shooting Star a few weeks ago). “Hard work, I’ve been playing a long time, I have really good support from my wife and my mom and my brother. This is the biggest win of Hunkin’s poker career, and his career tournament earnings now stand at $200,734. Hunkin earned his first WPTDeepStacks title, and $121,000 in first-place prize money, which included a $3,000 championship prize package. Tuiofu Hunkin (pictured) topped a field of 678 entries to win the WPTDeepStacks Thunder Valley Main Event on Monday at Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln, California.
