Players Remaining: 4/434

Nigel Murray raised to 125,000 from the small blind and Bryan Emory three-bet to 275,000 from the big blind. Murray called and the pair saw a flop of [q]6s5h.

Murray checked. Emory bet 160,000. Murray called.

The turn was the Jh and both players checked.

The river 4d completed the board. Murray lead for 700,000 leaving himself not much behind. Emory went into the tank.  “Seven-eight or nothing,” were among the audible thoughts.

“I really don’t want to give you any more chips,” Emory said.

He called and Murray promptly flipped over 6d4c for two pair. Emory folded and Murray scooped the pot.

Nigel Murray – 2,225,000
