Murphy Holds Against Silver

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

After four players had limped, Max Silver raised to 3,000 from the big blind. One fold put action on Full Tilt Poker qualifier Conor Murphy, who opted to move all in for 5,725. Action folded back to Silver, who was sitting on a big stack, and he made the call.

Silver: {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Murphy: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

It was off to the races, and since the Galway Races are in town, it was only fitting the Irishman held after the board ran out {7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

"Nice hand," a genuine Silver said as he sent a small portion of his stack across the table.
