Newey on Fumes
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
There was another blind versus blind battle on Table 2, with Paul Newey and Pablo Brito Silva being the participants this time around.
Newey had remained around the starting stack through the first two and a half levels, while Silva had seen his stack diminish before regaining most of his lost chips.
With 57,500 in the pot on the 5♦A♦10♦2♥3♥ board, Newey, with 64,500 behind checked. Silva bet 55,000 and sent Newey into the blender. The latter ended up calling after using up a time bank card.
Silva tabled K♦4♣ for a wheel while Newey flashed his A♠J♠ before it went into the muck.
