A player in the cutoff opens to 8,000, A player on the button three-bets to 19,000, Brett Murray four-bets to 62,000 and the cutoff five-bet shoves for 314,000. The button folds and Murray, who has his opponent slightly covered, calls after thinking his decision through for roughly 30 seconds.

Cutoff: .
Brett Murray:

The cutoff’s pocket eights are ahead on the flop but Murray makes top pair on the turn to take the lead. The turn changes nothing for either player and Murray drags in a pot worth well over 150 big blinds while his opponent exits the tournament area.

Brett Murray – 680,000 (170 bb)
