McGowan Triples Up On First Hand
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
David McGowan has had a dream start to Day 2. Action folded to him in middle position and he shoved for 395,000. William Firebaugh called from one seat over, only to see Matthew Snook re-jam for a little over 400,000 out of the big blind. Firebaugh made the call with the bigger stack and it was officially a three-way all in.
David McGowan: 
Matthew Snook: 
William Firebaugh: 
The flop came 
to keep McGowan ahead. Nothing changed on the 
turn or 
river to triple McGowan up while Snook scooped a small sidepot to ensure no player was eliminated.
