Caglan Takes from Novak

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Timur Caglan raised to 200,000 with the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and Daniel Novak called from two seats over in the cutoff with {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Caglan bet the {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop for 310,000 and Novak called before the {5-Hearts} turn brought a second barrel worth 650,000.

Novak gave it some thought and called, before the {A-Diamonds} fell on the river. Caglan checked the stack of his opponent and moved all in, eventually forcing a fold from Novak.
