Pham Doubles Through Murray

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Chris Murray opened for 16,000 from middle position and Trung Pham three-bet over half of his stack. Action around the table folded back to Murray who moved all in and Pham called for less.

Chris Murray: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Trung Pham: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Pham was ahead but Murray picked up a Broadway draw with the {j-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop.

The {7-Hearts} came on the turn and Murray needed any ace or queen to hit in order to win the hand.

Unfortunately for Murray, the river fell the {8-Spades} and he shipped 96,000 over to Pham leaving himself with 16,000.
