Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mark Murphy opened to 160,000 under the gun. Ruairi McLaughlin then jammed his stack of 1,610,000 in from the small blind, which Eduard Fechita called in the big blind.

Murphy spent some time in the tank before announcing his own all-in, getting snap-called by Fechita, who only had 520,000 behind.

Ruairi McLaughlin: Q♥Q♣ All in
Eduard Fechita: K♥K♣ All in
Mark Murphy: 9♥9♣

The 2♠5♥8♣7♥ turn gave Murphy some extra outs. He shouted triumphantly as the 9♦ hit the river, making him a set to score the double knock-out.

Fechita kicked the ground in frustration as he saw Murphy ship the gigantic pot, eliminating both McLaughlin and Fechita in one fell swoop.
