[user76023]

Paulsen: {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

Murphy:

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

and before Paulsen could even hope and pray for a pairing of the board to give him a glimmer of hope, the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

came on the turn killing his dreams. The {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

was incidental and Paulsen has been crippled as a result.
