Murphy Calls, Then Three-Bets

We picked up the action on a {j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop being contested three-ways. The preflop pot had built to about 9,000-chips.

The player in the small blind position led for 2,500 and was called by Alan Murphy. Then the player in the cutoff position raised to 8,000. The initial raiser laid his hand down before Murphy three-bet to 27,500. This forced his opponent to make a decision for his tournament life. In the end, he wasn't willing to take the risk and mucked his hand.
