Murphy Trips up Yokosawa
Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 7♠7♣J♣ with a few hundred thousand already in the middle, Masato Yokosawa checked from the small blind and called after Daniel Murphy bet 205,000 from early position.
The 7♥ brought trips on board and Yokosawa check-called a 375,000 bet from Murphy.
Both players checked down on the 5♥ river and Murphy showed A♣J♦ for sevens-full of jacks. Yokosawa couldn't beat it and sent his cards into the muck.
Just 59 players remain with a few minutes to go before the dinner break.
