"Had to Use the One Time on a Chop"

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Dustin Murphy raised to 250,000 from the button and then called when Greg Ostrander three-bet to 820,000 from the big blind, which brought about an all-diamond flop of 10♦3♦K♦.

Ostrander moved all in for 1.33 million and Murphy didn't take too long to call.

Greg Ostrander: A♥A♣ All in
Dustin Murphy: K♥J♣

Murphy had flopped top pair but was behind the pocket rockets of Ostrander, who was primed to double.

The 2♦ turn put four diamonds on the board, but neither player held one in their hand. However, it did mean a fifth diamond on the river would result in a chop, which is what Murphy called for.

Indeed, the 7♦ spiked on the river, and Ostrander threw his hands up, knowing he was just denied a double.

"Had to use the one time on a chop," Murphy said with a smile.
