Peter Murphy Completes Boylepoker Multiplier ChallengeMurphy Turns $100 into $10,000 at Boylepoker.com |

Peter Murphy has completed his Multiplier Challenge at BoylePoker.com, with two weeks to spare. Murphy turned $100 into $10,000 in nine weeks, finishing $172.21 cent above target. He then qualified for Boylepoker’s $250,000 guaranteed tournament where he collected another $2,000 to top it all off.
After finishing fourth out of 1,500 players in the $10 rebuy at the site, Murphy was still $800 short of his target. He was in the $7,000 guaranteed deepstack at the time, but needed to finish in the top four again to make it to $10,000. He didn’t get there, so after a short break, he took to the cash tables, where he at first threw away two buy-ins.
Grinding his way back, he finally made it when the last hand he played saw him all in with J
9 on a flop of A-J-X with two spades, after a check-raise from his opponent who was sitting on A-J. A spade came on the river, and with it, Murphy's goal.
The Boylepoker.com pro said, “At the start of the week with $1,900 balance, I really had very little hope of getting it done within the time frame but five long days later I finally managed to get there. Not a bad week’s work either, $8,000 profit!”
A few weeks ago, a similarly inspired Adrian McCarthy attempted the same feat, and 10 days after depositing $100, he had $135,000 in his account. McCarthy took down six consecutive $20 sit ‘n’ go tournaments on the Jackpot tables at Boylepoker.com bringing his total to $35,000. He then won a seat in the $2.5 million guaranteed tournament where he came sixth for $100,000.
Head of poker at Boyle Sports, Paul Spillane said, “What a fantastic achievement, not just for Peter but Adrian too. It was a real rollercoaster ride but we were always confident he had the skill and discipline to complete the challenge and are thrilled that he did. Congratulations to both of them.”
