Neel Murthy With Back-to-Back Wins

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

In the first of two hands, Neel Murthy was in late position and raised to 5,000. Bertrand Grospellier was on the button and called.

The flop was {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and both players checked to the turn which was the {2-Clubs}. Murthy led for 6,500 and Grospellier called. The river was the {a-Diamonds} and both players checked.

Murthy tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} to take it down as Grospellier mucked his hand. This got Murthy up to 280,000.

In the following hand, Murthy was in middle position and raised to 5,000. The hijack and big blind both called.

The flop was {4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and it was checked around to the turn which was the {8-Spades}. The big blind led for 10,500 and Murthy snap-raised to 25,000. The player in the hijack then reraised to 41,500. The big blind moved all in for his remaining 32,000 roughly and Murthy moved all in, having both players covered. The hijack thought for a minute before folding his hand.

Murthy: {7-Spades}{4-Spades}
Big blind: {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The river was the {2-Spades}, locking up the hand for Murthy who seems unstoppable at the moment. He appears to be the chip leader but chips are moving around furiously.
