Newton Eliminates Two!

On a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} Justin Newton made the call against two all in players. Newton held {K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the flush draw against {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for top pair and {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for an open-ended straight draw.

The turn ended it all when it landed {4-Diamonds} to complete Newton's flush. The river landed the {5-Hearts} and Newton eliminates two players just after the break to move to 73,000 chips.
