In April this year Murphy successfully completed the first Multiplier Challenge, which saw him turn $100 into $10,000 in the space of just 10 weeks - just five days ahead of his 11-week deadline. Murphy subsequently qualified for the $250,000 guaranteed on and collected another $2,000, bringing his total to $12,172.21. Fans of the Multiplier Challenge x 2 can follow Murphy's progress at http://boylepokerblog.com/, where there will be regular updates from the Boylepoker Team and Peter himself. Look out for Peter's alias 'murphymultiplier' at the http://www.boylepoker.com tables from October 1st to see if he can turn a $1,000 bankroll into $40,000 The tale of the first Multiplier Challenge took a dramatic twist when fellow Boylepoker.com player Adrian McCarthy was inspired by Murphy's attempted spin up, deposited $100, followed Murphy's lead, and after just 10 days had accumulated $135,000. First McCarthy won six $20 sit 'n' go tournaments in a row on the Jackpot tables at Boylepoker.com and collected $35,000. He then went on to win a seat in the $2.5 million guaranteed tournament at the site and came sixth in the tournament pocketing another $100,000. Paul Spillane, head of poker at Boyle Sports, said, "Peter showed just how good a player he is, grinding up from the lowest levels to beat his deadline by five days last time. This time he has a lot more to play with, but will the jump up in levels cause him problems? Drop by regularly to boylepokerblog.com to find out if he can succeed again."
