Tuna Coolers Lingham
Akin Tuna opened to 6,000 from under the gun before Benjamin Grise three-bet to 18,000 from middle position. Vinny Lingham joined the fray with a four-bet to 65,000 from the small blind.
Tuna wasn't having it, as he opted to five-bet shove for 334,000 in response to all the action behind him. Grise got out of the way with a fold, while Lingham was left with a decision.
Lingham asked for a count before he shrugged and put in the chips for a call to put Tuna at risk.
Akin Tuna: A♠A♥
Vinny Lingham: Q♣Q♠
Tuna was well ahead preflop as he had the goods with pocket rockets.
The flop only lengthened Tuna's lead when it came J♥A♦6♦ to give him top set.
Any hopes of a runner-runner comeback were extinguished when the 3♦ peeled on the turn.
The 5♣ completed the board as Tuna secured the double-up and left Lingham with scraps.
Lingham busted shortly, then rebought into the tournament to start with a fresh stack.
Jesse Lonis was seen entering the tournament to add to the field of players.
