Murakami Goes Straight to a Boat
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Action was picked up with Junichi Murakami in middle position all-in against Jonathan Ong in the big blind.
Junichi Murakami: 8♠8♥
Jonathan Ong: K♠Q♦
Both Murakami and Ong got on their feet as they watched the flop show J♦9♥10♣. Ong was pushed into the lead with a flopped straight, making Murakami visibly disheartened. Ready to leave, the turn fell 8♣, giving Murakami a set that was still behind Ong's made hand.
The whole table erupted with a loud "Oh!" when the river 9♠ fell, securing Murakami a double-up with a full house and leaving Ong with crumbs.
Ong was eliminated soon after.
