Murphy's Kicker Helps Him Double

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With almost 60,000 already in the middle, David Murphy and James Cedrone were looking at a board of 28102, where Murphy led for 30,000 from the big blind. Cedrone took a few moments before making the call in middle position.

The 5 completed the board, and Murphy wasted little time moving all in, putting Cedrone to the test for his remaining 68,500.

Cedrone let out a loud sigh, stared Murphy down, then stacked up his chips before calling off for his tournament life.

Murphy tabled 104 for tens and deuces, but Cedrone had him beat with J10 to win the pot with the same two pair and higher kicker.
