Tuna Takes the Lead

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The ticket of Aleksandr Ovechkin appeared among the bustouts and the Russian had started the day with a very healthy stack of 65 big blinds, however that has since been reduced to zero. Akin Tuna was kind enough to provide the details, as it was him that scored a big pot to bust Ovechkin.

According to Tuna, he three-bet the raise of the Russian from 11,000 to 34,000 and Ovechkin called. On the {K-}{Q-}{3-} flop Tuna bet 40,000 and was called before betting another 100,000 on the {J-} turn, Ovechkin called once more. After the {3-Diamonds} river that paired the board, Tuna moved all in and Ovechkin called with pocket queens for a full house only to see Tuna turn over pocket kings for the better full house.
