William McMurray moved all in for just 18,000 under the gun. Over to one of the chip leaders Alessandro Pichierri, who threebet to 30,000. This was not enough to deter big blind Danny Ehrenberger from moving all in over the top – for 61,000. Call.
McMurray: Kc 9h
Pichierri: Kh Th
Ehrenberger: Qc 7c
“I’ve lost every single hand to you, brother!” lamented McMurray. This was to be no exception. The board ran out Jc Kd 5s 9s Tc – a straight for Ehrenberger and a higher two pair for Pichierri (“Oh my god – are you for real?” McMurray said on the river). McMurray hit the rail but avoided the bubble.
