Birnbaum Is Here To Stay
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
In the last six hands, Susan Murphey opened to 425,000, and Nancy Birnbaum next to her opted to go all in with her remaining stack of 1,170,000.
Nancy Birnbaum: A♥9♦
Susan Murphey: 8♠8♦
The dealer revealed the board of A♣7♥K♥5♥J♦.
Birnbaum was already prepared to leave, but once she saw the ace on the flop, she sat back down again. Murphey's pocket eights did not improve on the turn or the river, so Birnbaum doubled up.
