Hopkins Wins A Huge Pot

Jason Newburger went with his read...and it nearly cost him the tournament. Holding {K-Spades}{3-Spades} Newburger flopped a pair on the {8-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} board, but Hopkins flopped top pair with {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. Hopkins bet the pot, and after thinking about it Newburger called.

The {6-Spades} fell on the turn and again Hopkins bet the pot. Again Newburger thought a long time before just calling. That left him with only about 275,000 behind and when the {10-Diamonds} fell on the river Hopkins moved all in. With just bottom pair, Newburger thought for several minutes about what he should do. That {10-Diamonds} also filled every possible draw on the board, but there was so much money in the pot that Newburger seemed unwilling to surrender his hand. It took him several minutes of stacking and re-stacking his chips before he conceded defeat and mucked his cards, giving Hopkins a massive chip lead.
