Double up Before the Bubble for Murphy
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
The player in the hijack raised to 11,000 and the cutoff made a flat call, but Mark Murphy on the button had other ideas and three-bet to 22,000. The hijack folded and the cutoff put in the back raise for a four-bet of 40,000 which would be all in for Murphy if he made the call. Murphy went into the tank for a long time and finally made the call.
Mark Murphy: Q♥Q♠ 
Cutoff: 8♣8♦
The board ran out as 6♠2♠J♦2♥K♦ and Murphy stayed alive.
