Murnick Scores Triple Knockout
During the break, Richard Murnick told PokerNews the details of a hand that eliminated three opponents, and left Murnick sitting on 260,000 chips.
Murnick opened to 4,000 under the gun, got a call from another early position opponent, and a late position player three-bet all in for around 20,000.
A fourth player, in the big blind, shoved for around 85,000 in the big blind.
Action came back around to Murnick, who went all in for 95,000, having all three opponents covered. The other early position player called, putting 22,000 total in the pot.
The four players then went to the showdown.
