Murciano Denied a Double on the River
Level 27
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Alvaro Murciano raised to 240,000 in the cutoff, Ian Simpson moved all in from the small blind, and Murciano called for 1,860,000.
Alvaro Murciano: A♣J♥ 
Ian Simpson: A♠10♣
Murciano had Simpson dominated and was a favorite to double up as the flop came 8♦4♠7♥. The 8♥ turn left open the possibility of a chop, and the 7♦ river gave both players eights and sevens with an ace to split the pot.
