The flop saw Hall teetering on the brink of elimination, but the timely appearance of the turn saw him take the lead in the hand, and he claimed the double-up after the river completed the hand. Hall doubled up to 87,500 while Murray dropped to around 95,000 or so.
Murray got all this in the next hand in a battle of the blinds, pumping it to 9,000 from the big blind after the man in the small blind limped. Murray got a customer and the flop fell , where the action went check, check.
The turn was as far as the hand got with Murray shipping in the rest of his chips when the small blind checked it over and folding after Murray's all-in.
