Novick Doubles Through Cummins

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Diane Zimmerman opened to 1,200 from middle position. Randall Cummins called from the hijack. This led to calls from Javier Gonzalez from the cutoff and Daniel Buckley in the small blind.

Hernan Novick wanted more in the pot, and chose to re-raise to 7,200 from the big blind. Zimmerman folded, but Cummins, Gonzalez, and Buckley all called to create a bloated pot as they took a pot four-handed.

The 342 flop led to a pair of checks from the blinds before Cummins bet 8,900. Gonzalez and Buckley folded, but Novick decided to check-raise all-in for 38,600.

Cummins went into the tank before the clock was called on him.

Cummins made the call shortly after the clock started to put Novick at risk.

Hernan Novick: KKAll in
Randall Cummins: 99

Novick was ahead with his pocket kings, and the 8 turn and 2 river did not alter that as Novick scored a double late on Day 1b.
