Dean Murphy Exercises His Option

Jason Fernandes limps under the gun and the players on the button and in the small blind do the same. Dean Murphy then exercises his option in the big blind with a raise to 950, Fernandes calls, and the other two players fold to make it heads-up action to the  flop.

Murphy leads out for 1,000, Fernandes calls, and the dealer burns and turns the . Murphy bets 1,050, Fernandes calls, and then the exact same action occurs on the  river.

Murphy tables the  for a pair of queens, and it’s good as Fernandes sends his cards to the muck.

Dean Murphy – 33,000 (220 bbs)
Jason Fernandes – 26,500 (177 bbs)
