Murphy Makes Straight Flush to Survive
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Mark Murphy opened to 100,000 from the hijack. Robert Sherwood raised to 300,000 from the button. Murphy then raised all in for around 1,000,000, Sherwood called.
Mark Murphy: 10♠10♥
Robert Sherwood: K♠J♣
The 9♠Q♠J♠ flop gave both players a piece, but Sherwood had top pair and a superior spade. However the 8♠ gave Murphy a straight flush leaving Sherwood drawing dead. The 5♦ was inconsequential and Murphy celebrated his double up.
