Dustin Murphy opened to 110,000 in the cutoff, and Ted McNamara three-bet to 250,000 in the small blind. Murphy called.

The flop was Ks6c2c. McNamara continued with a repeat bet of 250,000, and Murphy called. The turn was the 5d. McNamara checked, and a bet of 525,000 from Murphy was enough to draw a fold and earn him the pot.

Murphy is an up-and-coming young pro from Florida, making his home in Port Charlotte. He has about $150,000 in career tournament earnings, including one victory and a handful of near misses. He knows how to navigate these big fields, too; Murphy finished as the runner-up from a field of nearly 3,000 in the big re-entry event held here in July of last year.

Dustin Murphy – 2,700,000 (54 bb)
