Don Murphy is in early position and raises before the flop. Five players call his raise (that itself is an entirely different topic for a different day). The flop comes with 3 spades, King high. Murphy looks at his cards and checks. Everyone checks. Turn is blank. Murphy looks at his cards and bets. Everyone calls his bet. River is blank. Murphy looks at his cards and bets the big bet. Three people call. One guy shows down 84s for a (very low) flush. Everyone else mucks. Murphy throws his cards at the dealer and unleashes one of his very creative curses.
Question: What did Murphy have?
Post your analysis of the hand to feedback - if you know Murphy (or even if you don't), this is a very easy example of how to read a hand.
