Takarabe Pushes Into Newman's Aces

After action folded around to Anthony Newman on the button, he raised to 2,500 and was met with an all-in three-bet to 14,000 by Kenichi Takarabe in the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and Newman made an easy call.

Showdown
Takarabe: {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Newman: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

Takarabe picked the wrong time and would receive no help as the board ran out a dry {5-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Spades}, making him one of the day's earliest eliminations.

Meanwhile, Blair Hinkle has been eliminated from the tournament.
