Breuning Chips Up Before First Break
Angelo Breuning opened the cutoff to 800 and was called by the button and big blind. He fired a continuation-bet of 1,200 on a 
flop and the button called. The two continued to the 
turn, and Breuning bet 2,000. His opponent called, bringing the 
on the river. Breuning then fired a third bullet of 3,500 and was called.
He showed 
for a rivered Broadway, fading the chop from his opponent's 
.
A couple hands later, action was joined three-handed on another flop, with Breuning in the hijack versus opponents in the cutoff and under the gun. The player under the gun bet 2,200 and Breuning raised to 7,200. The cutoff folded, and under the gun called. Both players checked through the 
turn, bringing a 
river. Breuning's opponent checked and then after some time called his 8,000 river bet.
Breuning tabled 
, having flopped the nuts, and sits comfortably at first break with around 68,000.
