Event #7: $560 Big Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 19 : 4,000/8,000 /1,000 Ante
Players Remaining: 13/177
Average Stack: 204,000 (26 bb)

Michael Newman raised to 20,000 from the button, Mauricio Cardona called from the small blind and John McLaughlin called from the big blind.

They checked to the river of a Jd8s8dKcJc where Cardona bet 25,000. McLaughlin raised to 75,000, Newman reraised to 140,000, Cardona folded, McLaghlin reraised all in for 265,000 and Newman called immediately, slapping down 8c8h onto the table quad eights.

Calmly, McLaughlin tabled JhJs for quad jacks to win the pot and double up.

John McLaughlin – 640,000 (80 bb)
Michael Newman – 60,000 (7 bb)
