TJ Murphy: 
Nicola DiTrapani: 
"Wanna run it ten times?" said Murphy as the 
flop hit the felt giving him top two-pair.
Murphy still had a sweat as DiTrapani held the nut flush draw and the turn did come red but it was the 
.
Murphy already had the pot secured and the dealer dropped the meaningless 
on the river.

Cunniff Spikes Ace on River to Stay Alive
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Nicholas Smith raised from middle position, the player directly to his left three-bet jammed and Gerald Cunniff came over the top for 67,500 from the cutoff.
Action folded back around Smith who snap-called and all three hands were tabled.
Gerald Cunniff: 
Nicholas Smith:
All In Player:
Smith was ahead with his cowboys and nothing changed after the 
flop hit the felt.
The turn gave the player at risk the nut flush draw but the river came a black 
, giving Cunniff the massive pot as he held the better kicker.
