Novak and McClean Bust, Israelashvili and Brady Double

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

According to Roland Israelashvili, Laurence Wolf raised to 20,000 from under the gun, a second player called, and a short-stacked Valeria Novak moved all in from the big blind. Wolf called with {a-}{j-}, and Novak was in a dominant position to double with {j-}{j-}.

"You know Barry Greenstein's book?" Israelashvili told us, smiling.

Evidently Novak was done in by an ace on the river, exiting the tournament.

Israelashvili was then awarded a double moments later with {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} against Abraham Korotki's {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

"I can't lost with a three," Israelashvili said confidently.

True enough, Israelashvili made a full house as the board came {3-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades}, and doubled up.

Across the room, Scott McLean moved all in for more than a pot-sized bet in a raised pot with {a-}{a-} on a flop of {a-}{k-}{q-}. It was an easily call for Charlie Hook, who had {j-}{10-}, and the board did not pair up.

And while all of this was going down, Matt Brady found a double up as well. Brady looked like he four-bet all in for 179,000 more than whatever Chris Csik three-bet to, and Csik called.

Brady: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Csik: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The kings held as the flop, turn, and river came {7-Spades}{q-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, and Brady doubled.
