Brian Murphy (pictured) raises UTG+1, and Matthew Alexander calls. The flop comes KJ9, Murphy checks, Alexander bets, and Murphy calls.

The turn is the 7, Murphy checks, Alexander bets, and Murphy check-raises. Alexander calls.

The river is the 4, Murphy bets 20,000, Alexander moves all in for 67,000, and Murphy calls. Alexander shows K-K for a flopped set of kings, but Murphy turns over Q10 for a flopped king-high straight to win the pot.

Their chip stacks are counted down, and Murphy slightly covers Alexander, eliminating him from the tournament.
