Keith Murrell Eliminated in 5th Place ($33,273)

5th Place - Keith Murrell
5th Place - Keith Murrell
A short-stacked Keith Murrell moved all in from under the gun for 33,000. Action folded to Michael Martin in the big blind and he eventually called. The players showed:

Martin: {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Murrell: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Murrell had the advantage going to the flop, but it was quickly reversed when the flop came {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Fourth and fifth streets were no help to Murrell, coming the {2-Spades} and {9-Clubs} respectively. Murrell's ace high was second best and he was eliminated in fifth place. He headed for the payout table where he pocketed $33,273 for his strong finish.
