Massive Boost in Chips for Novak

Gabrielle Barredo
Gabrielle Barredo
Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was picked up in a three-way all-in that involved William Murray, Brian Mckain, Bruce Novak.

Fred Goldberg and Jennifer Frankenstein, who witnessed it all, told PokerNews the action pre-flop. Mckain moved all-in for around 200,000 in early position and William Murray flat-called.

Bruce Novak in the big blind, replied with a shove all-in for 600,000 and Murray, called once again, taking all three players to the ensuing showdown.

William Murray: 4x4x All in
Bruce Novak: A♠K♠ All in
Brian Mckain : Q♥Q♣

The flop came A♥5♠7♠ pushing Novak into the lead. The runout 5♥10♦ didn't help either Murray and Mckain.

Murray quietly left the table as Novak scooped the pot for a massive boost in chips and as Goldberg claimed that Troy Donaldson, who was also at the table in the small blind, folded pocket tens.

McKain, with only 65,000 remaining, soon followed in elimination.
