Jacks Hold, Murr Triples

The preflop action is unknown, but what we could see when we approached the table was a three-way preflop all in. Carl Murr was the player at risk holding {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs}. Tony Saad was in there with {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, as was the {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} of Joseph Khalil.

With the cards on their backs, the dealer ran out a board of {2-Spades} {4-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {8-Hearts}. Dodging all three overcards, Murr picked up a crucial triple up, sitting now on about 38,000 chips. When the stacks were counted down, Khalil was left with just 50 lonely chips with which to try and make his comeback.
