and Pesek led out for 11,000 when the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

hit the turn.

Murphy called and Pesek checked the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

on the river. This time, Murphy led out for 20,000 and Pesek tanked for more than two minutes before finally making the call. His cards hit the muck when Murphy showed {A-?}

{A-?}

{K-?}

Pesek's stack has shrunk to 52,000 while Murphy now has more than 145,000.
