Who is TUNA and why do they call him that?

I think I know, but I was going to ask, too, since I'm not completely
sure. I think it has to do with how he scrounged in rivers looking
for gold.

The question to ask is: "Where did he cache all his gold"? The rush is on.

According to Brad Daugherty, a close friend, collaborator on machine plays, and a WSOP ME winner, he was born Hans James Lund, his folks called him Jimmy. But many years ago a poker player said something to him like "You're not a big fish, just a tuna." Tuna wanted to be known as a fish so he kept the moniker.

The two-outer on the river by Matloubi is one of the more famous hands in WSOP history, but what is little known is their heads up play lasted several hours and Tuna did not go easy after the beat.
