Murphy Runs into Lew's Aces
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Liam Murphy opened to 50,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Dylan Lew who three-bet to 125,000 on the button. Murphy moved all in for his last ~550,000 and Lew snap called.
Liam Murphy: A♣Q♥
Dylan Lew: A♥A♦
Lew had woken up with pocket aces and Murphy found himself behind and at risk. The K♦4♠Q♠ flop saw Murphy pick up a queen, but he needed another to save him from busting out of the event.
A 8♦ turn and 5♣ river saw to his swift exit from the tournament in 148th place for $9,985.
