Vas Nunes Rivers Trips; Scoops a Large One
Action began with Mario Puccini under-the-gun, who opened for 40,000. Jackie Glazier flatted from the button and Paul Vas Nunes came along as well from the small blind for a three-way pot.
The flop came 
and Vas Nunes checked to Puccini, who c-bet for 60,000. Glazier got out of the way, but Vas Nunes made the call.
The 
fell on the turn and Vas Nunes again check called - this time for a 135,000 bet from Puccini.
When the 
completed the board, Vas Nunes led out for 320,000 and Puccini called. Vas Nunes tabled 
for trip nines. Puccini showed that he had for aces and queens and mucked his hand.
Vas Nunes is up to 1.68 million following the hand, while Puccini has slipped to 550,000.
