Todd Runs Kings Into Aces to Burst Bubble
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
After a few rounds of all in and calls that resulted in double ups, Alex Todd raised from under the gun and Ricky Murphy three-bet to 35,000 from the button. Todd moved all in for 88,000 and Murphy called. The action was frozen until the TD announced the hand and players flipped their cards.
Alex Todd: K♥K♣ 
Ricky Murphy: A♣A♦
In a brutal bubble cooler, Todd had run his pocket kings into aces. The flop came 10♠A♠4♠ to improve Murphy's hand to a set of aces. Todd was drawing extremely slim as the 9♦ turn and 3♦ river ended his tournament chances. He was eliminated on the stone bubble as Murphy dragged in the pot.
