The Story of Tuna and Wellenbach
When we received the official counts in the break, we learned we had a new chipleader: Scott Wellenbach. Akin Tuna, a one-time chip leader, was down to just a few big blinds meanwhile.
We asked table mate Pim Kuipers who told us of 2 hands where Wellenbach beat Tuna.
1) Tuna opened the hijack and Wellenbach called on the button. Tuna bet the flop (
), turn () and 100,000 on the river (
). Wellenbach called the flop and turn and raised to 300,000 on the river. Tuna called but mucked as Wellenbach showed 
suited for trips.
2) Wellenbach opened and Tuna called out of position. Tuna check-called a bet of 
and checked again on a blank on the turn. Wellenbach checked behind and a completed the board. Tuna checked and Wellenbach bet 100,000. Tuna called but had to muck once again as Wellenbach showed .
