Novin Back In It After a Miracle
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
More commotion just came from Table 3, the very same table that started the day with quads to a Royal Flush, and it was the recently-crippled Ali Novin who brought about the raucous after getting all in preflop from the cutoff against Stacy Bush in the small blind.
Novin: 
Bush: 
Both players connected with the flop 
, leaving Novin in need of running full house outs to improve his top pair, top kicker beyond Bush's set. Just like that, running 
came to earn him another double.

Novin: 
Grimes: 
"Everybody say a king!" sang Novin in party fashion. One appeared in the window, and his top pair held over Grimes's queens on a runout of

and the river came

Sayah: 
McDonald had hit running sevens to make quads, only to see Sayah turn over a flopped Royal Flush to eliminate her from the tournament.
