"April $100,000 GTD:" Nigel Murray Sends Field Into The Money

"April $100,000 GTD"
$360 No Limit Hold'em Deep Stack
Level 18 (Blinds 3,000/6,000/500)
Total Entries: 742
Players Remaining: 93


Nigel Murray (Miami Gardens, FL) 

After two players limped at Table 10, action would be on Nigel Murray, who was on the button.  Murray raised to 35,000, and watched as the player in the small blind pushed forward his entire stack (80,000).  The big blind would fold, and one of the original limpers asked for an exact count.  He would eventually release his hand, along with Noberto Pardo (who limped as well), with Murray making the call.

"You're going to fold that hand," Murray asked the seemingly only other interested party in the hand (original limper).  He told Murray that he had pocket nines, which seemed to fare well for the all-in player, who happened to be holding picket eights.  He'd be in a position to double up, as Murray tabled 2 3, but the 2♠ 2♣ 6♠ flop changed everything.  A collective reaction came from the table, as they watched the deal finish the runout, eliminating the unnamed "bubble boy."

Everyone in the field is now guaranteed at least $496, with payouts to be posted after each pay jump occurs.
