River Flushes Murphy Out
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
In a single-raised pot to the 10♦10♥3♥ flop, Peter Murphy check-raised the continuation-bet of John Power. Power called, growing the pot to 170,000 when the K♦ hit the turn.
Murphy reverted to checking, prompting Power to bet 70,000. Murphy sighed as he shipped in his remaining 130,000 chips, and Power quickly called with the covering stack.
Peter Murphy: Q♠Q♦ 
John Power: A♥8♥
Murphy's queens were in the lead, but Power completed his flush on the 6♥ river to send his opponent out of the Main Event.
