Tasyurek Shoves the River on Newey

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Three players had seen a flop of 98A where both blinds checked and Halil Tasyurek fired out 1,500. The small blind folded, but Paul Newey, in the big blind, called.

A K landed on the turn and after Newey checked, Tasyurek bet 2,500. Newey then put in a check-raise to 8,200, and Tasyurek took just a few seconds before he called.

The 4 on the river completed the board and Newey announced a bet of 22,000 before he slid the chips into the pot. Tasyurek mulled it over for a while before he announced that he was all in, which put Newey to the test for his remaining stack of just under 70,000. After around a minute, Newey elected to fold, and Tasyurek raked in the pot.
