Frey Cracks Cowboys
Level 23
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Martyn Frey opened to 250,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet jam to 2,200,000 by Jiri Novak with the covering stack from the button. Action back to Frey, who called.
Martyn Frey: A♣Q♣ 
Jiri Novak: K♠K♥
Frey was in trouble, but the ace was in the window on the A♠Q♠J♠ flop. Novak still had outs to the flush and straight, but the 5♦A♥ turn and river only improved Frey further, to Novak's absolute disgust.
Novak was left with 750,000 and busted shortly after.
