Bussot Beneficiary of Murphy's Law

Denis Murphy started the day with 781,000, and his tablemate, Frederic Bussot, was on the short side with 140,000. But how quickly these things change. First, Bussot doubled through Murphy when his {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} held against Murphy's {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

A few hands later, Murphy raised to 27,000 from early position. Bussot called from the cutoff, and Laura Cantero came along in the big blind. The flop fell {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}, and Cantero checked. Bussot moved all in for 173,000, and Murphy called to put him at risk again. Cantero folded, and it was on to showdown. Murphy showed {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for a straight-flush draw, and Bussot had flopped a set with {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. "Please, please!" begged Bussot, and he had reason to cheer when the {9-Diamonds} on the turn and {5-Diamonds} on the river bricked all of Murphy's draws.

After doubling twice, Bussot is up to 440,000. Murphy, on the other hand, has fallen all the way to 285,000.
