River Straight Triples Up Murray
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
All the chips went in preflop between Matt Murray, Arthur Gates, and a third player in the hand. Murray was the shortest stack with 36,000 committed and Gates having the other player covered as well.
Matt Murray: 
Arthur Gates: 
Opponent: 
Much to the delight of the whole table, except possibly Gates, the board ran out 
. A roller coaster for Murray as he went from having the best hand, to losing, to binking a straight on the river to triple up.
Gates grabbed the side pot sending the third player in the hand to the rail.
