John Murphy Moves On

After the hand, Murphy has 70,000 and his heads-up opponent Sezgey Rejbachenko has 30,000.

John Murphy gets it all in with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} against Sergey Rybachenko's {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. The board comes {3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and Rybachenko is out. John Murphy moves on to round 2, and will hopefully get plenty of sleep this evening. (Murphy is, of course, well known for oversleeping before the 2004 WSOP Main Event final two tables.)
