Thomas Murphy Eliminated in 8th Place ($35,953 )
Level 36
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Thomas Murphy opened the cutoff to 1,200,000 and Branden Shimamoto three-bet shoved from the big blind. Murphy had around 12,500,000 to start the hand and made the call which put him at risk.
Thomas Murphy: 9♥9♦ 
Branden Shimamoto: Q♠J♠
A huge flip for both players but it was Murphy that needed to come out on top if he wanted to survive. It wasn't a good start for the Irish player as Shimamoto paired his jack on the 2♣J♦4♥ flop, which left Murphy with just two outs.
Neither the 2♥ turn nor K♠ river offered any help to Murphy, and he was eliminated in eighth.
