Alan Murphy Eliminated in 10th Place ($32,193)

Action folded to Eric Crain in the cutoff and he opened for 185,000. After the button folded, Aaron Steury three-bet to 525,000 from the small blind. A short-stacked Alan Murphy was in the big blind and decided this was the time to go, so he pushed in 675,000. Crain made the call as did Steury, with the latter asking if he could reraise (he could not).

When the flop fell {4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, Steury led out for 855,000 and Crain got out of the way.

Showdown
Murphy: {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Steury: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Murphy needed runner-runner to survive, which meant the {5-Clubs} turn left him drawing dead. The meaningless {A-Spades} was run out on the river as Murphy made his exit in 10th place, to a nice round of applause we might add.
