Coyle's Spin Up Short-Lived
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jonathan Coyle opened to 30,000 from the button and called when Alexander Murphy jammed for 125,000 from the big blind.
Alexander Murphy: A♥6♥
Jonathan Coyle: J♣8♦
Coyle paired up on the 8♠5♠3♦ flop to take the lead, but the A♠ turn gave Murphy the advantage with a pair of aces. the Q♥ river ensured Murphy survived.
Coyle was left with 30,000 the following hand, and his chips went in the followiing hand. There were two other players in the hand, and they checked it through to showdown after neither of them took a stab on the 7♥6♦3♥2♦A♣ board.
Coyle tabled K♠9♥ and it was somehow the best hand, as Coyle was up against 10♦8♦ and J♣10♣.
However, the triple-up couldn't save Coyle, as he bust a few hands later.
