Murphy Stays Alive Against Pon
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Gregory Pon raised from early position before Shelley Murphy opted to jam 133,000 from the button. Pon quickly called to put Murphy at risk.
Shelley Murphy: 9♠9♣
Gregory Pon: Q♣Q♠
Murphy was in deep trouble against the better pair of Pon, but the flop was the miracle Murphy was looking for as it came 9♥7♥J♠ to reverse Murphy's fortune.
The K♣ turn did not alter anything, and the 7♣ river upgraded Murphy to a full house to secure the double.
