Russell Rustles Up Some Chips

From UTG position Russell Rosenblum shoved all in preflop holding {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds}. John Murphy reraised from the button with {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades} and isolated Rosenblum for a showdown. The pocket aces of Rosenblum held as the board evolved {7-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {4-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}.

Rosenblum's double-up has his stack to around 17,000. Murphy, even after taking a hit, still has 42,000 in front of him.
