Richard Murphy Eliminated in 12th Place ($22,415)
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Richard Murphy raised to 400,000 from the hijack, and when action got to Damir Stefanic on the button, he moved all in for 3,745,000. Murphy, who had a slightly smaller stack of 3,510,000, made the call.
Richard Murphy: 10♥10♦
Damir Stefanic: Q♥Q♦
The flop 7♠3♦4♦ kept Stefanic firmly in the lead, and when the dealer delivered the 9♦ turn, there was a quick scan at the holecards to see who had a diamond. The players soon saw that both had a diamond, which rendered the flush draw irrelevant.
The river 5♣ didn't provide the miracle Murphy needed, and he departed in 12th place.
