Quenneville Shows Murthy the Door

We have just lost one more to bring the field down to 29 – just 2 away from the bubble. It was Neel Murthy who was the latest casualty, becoming the architect of his own destruction after opening the action from early position with a raise to 12,000 from early position and finding three callers in the form of Troy Quenneville (button), Martin Kozlov, (small blind) and Lee Wai Kiat (big blind).

Four-way to a flop of both blinds checked it over to Murthy, who led out for 19,000 only to see Quennville pump it up to 53,500 from the button. After Kozlov and Kiat got out of the way Murthy shipped in the rest of his stack and Quenneville called instantly.

Despite flopping a diamond draw Murthy was trailing to Quenneville’s top pair and while the US player connected slightly with the turn to gain a few more outs the river was not one of them and he hit the rail while the Canadian chipped up to 465,000.
