Murnick Scores Triple Knockout

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

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.

Richard Murnick: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Early Position: {q-}{q-}
Late Position: {8-}{8-}
Big Blind: {k-}{k-}

Murnick's pocket aces held up through the runout in the battle of pocket pairs, and he's now near the top of the chip leaderboard as Day 1b hits the home stretch.

Peter Peck

Facing an under-the-gun limp, Peter Peck raised to 4,600 in early position.

The cutoff three-bet all in, making it 30,000 to go. The under-the-gun player folded, and Peck made the call, with his opponent covered.

Cutoff: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Peter Peck: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Board: {6-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

The board hit Peck's hand about as hard as it possibly good, with the river {a-Clubs} improving him to a full house. The hand eliminated the cutoff player, and put Peck into the six-figure mark in chips as Level 11 winds down.
