Tom Roupe Advances to Final Table

Tom Roupe
Tom Roupe
Tom Roupe had about a 3-to-1 chip advantage when the following hand took place:

Roupe raised to 19,000 from the small blind/button, and John Murphy called. The flop came {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Murphy checked, Roupe bet 20,000, Murphy check-raised all-in, and Roupe made the call.

Roupe showed {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs} for top pair, and Murphy {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the nut flush draw. The turn was the {3-Hearts}, and Murphy needed an ace or club, or he was done.

The river was the {7-Diamonds}, and Tom Roupe moves on to tomorrow's final table.
