Newman Scores a Double

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Paul Newman shoved 15,500 in early position and the cutoff pushed his entire stack across the line as well. The action folded to the big blind, who asked for a count. After being told it was 30,500, he thought about it for about a minute before letting his cards go, claiming to have folded QJ.

Paul Newman: A10
Cutoff: 77

It was a coinflip as the flop came 1062, for Newman to take the lead.

"Come on dealer," cried the cutoff.

The board completed with the K turn, and the 3 river for Newman to pull in the double-up. Meanwhile, the big blind was kicking himself for folding what would have been a flush.
