Stewart Newman

On a flop of KcTs9c, the player in the big blind checked and the player under the gun checked as well. Jean Gaspard bet 2,000 and Team SHRP member Stewart Newman tossed out two yellow, 5,000 denomination chips and announced a raise to a different amount.

The big blind folded, as did the under the gun player before Gaspard moved all in for about 20,000. Newman snap-called.

Newman showed 9h9d, good for bottom set and was in the lead against Gaspard’s KdJd. The turn was the 4s and the river wast he 6d.

Newman faded Gaspard’s gutshot straight draw and sent Gaspard to the rail at least temporarily. He still has several hours to re-enter.

Stewart Newman – 55,000
Jean Gaspard – Eliminated
