Murphy Takes One from Liu

Erick Torres

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Lian Liu opened the action with a raise to 8,000 on the button. Shelley Murphy called from the big blind to send them to a flop.

Murphy chose to lead out for 15,000 on the J♠6♥A♦ flop. Liu came along with a call.

The 6♠ turn led to another bet of 15,000 from Murphy, and Liu made the call to send them to a river.

Both players slowed down with a check on the 10♦ river.

Murphy showed A♠3♠ for a pair of aces, which was enough to beat Liu, who showed K♦J♣.
