Murthy Pulls Back Ahead
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Neel Murthy raised to 450,000 from the button and Chris Frank three-bet to 1,600,000 from the small blind. Murthy called and the flop was A?Q?A?. Frank fired 800,000 and Murthy called to see 6x on the turn. Frank checked the turn and folded without much hesitation when Murthy bet 1,900,000.
A few moments later, 1,400,000 was in the middle with 3?6?5?7? on the board when Haim Gabay bet 500,000 and Murthy made it 1,700,000. Gabay called and the river was 3?. Both players checked the river and turned over their cards. Gabay had K?J? and Murthy had 8?4? to take the pot with a straight.
