Novak Out-Kicks Collins
Level 2
: 100/200, 200 ante
Three players had cards in front of them on 
and Randy Novak announced a bet of 2,500 into a pot of around the same size. A player in middle position folded and then Greg Collins called in the cutoff. The turn came 
.
"How much does he have left?" asked Novak.
Collins spread out his remaining chips onto his felt sideways, announcing "ten-point-five (thousand)," and Novak tapped the felt. Collins checked behind.
The river was 
and Novak checked again. Collins announced a bet of 4,000 and Novak immediately called.
Collins tabled 
for kings and eights with a nine kicker, which was topped by Novak's ace kicker 
to earn him the pot.
