Murakami Goes Straight to a Boat

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Action was picked up with Junichi Murakami in middle position all-in against Jonathan Ong in the big blind.

Junichi Murakami: 88 All in
Jonathan Ong: KQ

Both Murakami and Ong got on their feet as they watched the flop show J910. Ong was pushed into the lead with a flopped straight, making Murakami visibly disheartened. Ready to leave, the turn fell 8, giving Murakami a set that was still behind Ong's made hand.

The whole table erupted with a loud "Oh!" when the river 9 fell, securing Murakami a double-up with a full house and leaving Ong with crumbs.

Ong was eliminated soon after.

Seen joining Ong heading to the payout counter were Zijing Cheng and Mark Leslie.
