One Time is Good Enough for Murphy

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Nicola DiTrapani raised to 7,000 from middle position and then called TJ Murphy's three-bet jam for roughly 20,000 from the next seat over.

TJ Murphy: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Nicola DiTrapani: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

"Wanna run it ten times?" said Murphy as the {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} 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 {k-Diamonds}.

Murphy already had the pot secured and the dealer dropped the meaningless {8-Hearts} on the river.

Cunniff Spikes Ace on River to Stay Alive

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Gerald Cunniff
Gerald Cunniff

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: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Nicholas Smith: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
All In Player: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Smith was ahead with his cowboys and nothing changed after the {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop hit the felt.

The {8-Hearts} turn gave the player at risk the nut flush draw but the river came a black {a-Spades}, giving Cunniff the massive pot as he held the better kicker.
