Tuna Makes Huge Call

Akin Tuna previously three-bet to 62,000 from the big blind and enforced a fold from Christoph Vogelsang. Then, William Arruda raised to 26,000 from the button and Tuna in the small blind as well as Sam Chartier in the big blind called.

On the flop, the action was checked to Arruda and the Brazilian fired a bet of 45,000. Tuna was the only caller to see the turn and check-called another bet worth 90,000. Then, the came on the river and Tuna checked. Arruda pushed for effectively 200,000 chips and Tuna immediately took off his sunglasses and ear plugs.

One minute passed by, another. Tuna stared at the board, Arruda the entire time at his opponent. Tuna counted out his stack, then put the ear plugs back in. He checked the cards, another minute passed. Nobody wanted to call time. After five minutes of consideration, Tuna then called and his stack of T-5,000 chips splashed forward.

Arruda grinned and flipped over his , he knew he was caught. Tuna fistpumped and flashed the for a pair of aces only to double up for 196,000.
