Murphy Flops a Set to Bust Connick and Pacini
Level 6
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Massimo Pacini raised to 1,000 under the gun and Thomas Murphy three-bet to 2,800 from the next seat. Craig Connick cold called from the small blind and Pacini also called.
The action checked to Murphy on the 8♦Q♣9♠ flop and he bet 3,000. Connick instantly check-shoved for 10,100 and Pacini jammed himself for roughly 25,000. Murphy snap-called to put both players at risk.
Craig Connick : Q♦10♣ 
Massimo Pacini : K♦Q♠
Thomas Murphy : 9♣9♦
Murphy had a lock on the hand with middle set against the top pair of both of his opponents. Connick did have a gutshot straight draw, but the A♣ turn or 2♠ river didn't help. Murphy pulled in the pot, while Connick and Pacini was sent to the rail.
