Michael Newman

Michael Newman (celebrating his birthday with a deep run) opened to 5,000 and Sharman Olshan three-bet to 12,000 and Newman called.

The flop came Jd4h2c and Olshan got her stack in the middle from the big blind and Newman had her at risk.

Newman: 2d2h
Olshan: KhKs

Newman caught a deuce to take the lead and Olshan could not come back on the 9s turn or 6c river for the unlucky knockout.

Michael Newman – 390,500 (130 bb)
Sharman Olshan – Eliminated
