Murphy Flops a Set to Bust Connick and Pacini

Tim Baker

Level 6 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Massimo Pacini raised to 1,000 under the gun and Thomas Murphy three-bet to 2,800 from the next seat. Craig Connick cold called from the small blind and Pacini also called.

The action checked to Murphy on the 8♦Q♣9♠ flop and he bet 3,000. Connick instantly check-shoved for 10,100 and Pacini jammed himself for roughly 25,000. Murphy snap-called to put both players at risk.

Craig Connick : Q♦10♣ All in
Massimo Pacini : K♦Q♠ All in
Thomas Murphy : 9♣9♦

Murphy had a lock on the hand with middle set against the top pair of both of his opponents. Connick did have a gutshot straight draw, but the A♣ turn or 2♠ river didn't help. Murphy pulled in the pot, while Connick and Pacini was sent to the rail.

Level 7 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Thomas Berniunas raised to 2,100 from middle psoiton and Kermani Aghasi three-bet to 6,100 from the button, When it folded back to Berniunas, he four-bet to 18,000 which was called by Aghasi.

The dealer fanned out a flop of 4♣4♥8♠, and Berniunas checked to Aghasi, who bet 13,000. Berniunas thought it over for a while before check-shoving for around 65,000. Aghasi had slightly more in his stack and after a few moments, made the call.

Thomas Berniunas : A♥K♣ All in
Kermani Aghasi : Q♥Q♣

Berniunas had made a move with ace-king and needed to find some help on the turn or river to beat the queens of Aghasi. However, the rest of the board ran out 9♥10♠ and Berniunas was sent to the rail.
