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.
