Luo Eliminates Murray to Surge into the Lead
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Marc Seymour opened to 60,000 form the cutoff and was flatted by Liam Murray on the button. Louis Luo then squeezed to 180,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from Seymour, but a back-shove from Murray for 565,000 total.
Luo thought for a couple of minutes before placing calling chips into the middle to put Murray at risk.
Liam Murray: A♥K♣
Louis Luo: 7♠7♥
Murray found himself in a race for his tournament life, but it wasn't his day as the 10♣2♥6♥9♣4♦ runout held up for Luo's pair — sending Murray out late in Day 2.
