Trading Chips

[user135779]

It's still passive between Kyle McMurphy and Barry Woods in this first game of the final, with chips basically being traded between them, but Woods seems to have the upper hand so far.

McMurphy check-called Woods' bet of 725 on a flop of {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

, then both players checked down the rest of the board which ran out {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

,

{3-Clubs}

.

Woods turned up {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{5-Spades}

but was no good against McMurphy's {a-Diamonds}

{a-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

.

Wood regained those chips a short time later. He limped in from the button preflop and McMurphy checked his option from the big blind to see a flop of {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

, which they both checked.

McMurphy then check-called Woods' bet of 375 on the turn of the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

before check-folding after Woods fired out 750 on the river {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

.
