Murnaghan Goes Deep in the Tank and Finds a Double

Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 0 ante
Aubrey Murnaghan
Aubrey Murnaghan

The action was caught on the turn, with 2,900 chips in the middle. The board read {8-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Chan Wang put out a bet of 2,700. Aubrey Murnaghan on the button upped the amount to 6,000 and Wang swiftly called.

The river fell the {7-Spades} and Wang promptly put all his chips in the middle, covering Murnaghan's remaining stack of 7,600. Murnaghan mulled it over for several minutes, before eventually putting in the call.

Wang tried to muck his cards but was forced to show {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} as the hand concerned an all-in situation. Murnaghan turned over {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a bare top pair, which was enough to take down the pot and double him back up to starting stack.
