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.
