Murray's Tourney Shot Down By Steinman's Bullets
"All in," said the dealer as Brett Murray shoved his last 60,000 or so in from the button. Moments later, Ian Steinman was sliding a stack of T5,000 chips forward to reraise. The two tabled their hands upon a fold out of the big blind.
Brett Murray: 
Ian Steinman: 
Murray's shove had run into Steinman's aces and he now found himself in need of significant improvement in order to stay alive. The flop 
was of little help, but the turn 
did give Murray some life. Unfortunately for him, the river 
would be the last card of his tournament life as his jacks were no good to Steinman's aces, resulting in his elimination from the tournament.
"Nice hand, dirtbag!" Murray said to Steinman with a smile on his face, having already stood up from his eight-seat at the table to walk behind the dealer over to Steinman in the one-seat in order to give him a fist bump.
Steinman reciprocated the smile and the fist bump.
"Did I play it well?" he asked Murray as the two shared a laugh. Meanwhile, Steinman had lost some chips since the break and has now gained them back, finding himself as the chip leader with 10 players left in the tournament.
