                                                                                             Michael Newman

Yossi Ben Kessous raised to 3,000 from middle position, the player on the button called, and Michael Newman called from the small blind.

The flop came down 10d9d7s, and Newman checked to Ben Kessous who bet 6,000. The button folded, and Newman called.

The turn was the 4d, and Newman check-called 7,000 from Ben Kessous.

The river was the 4s, and Newman led out for 15,000. Ben Kessous tanked for about two minutes, squirming in his seat a bit while Newman just stared at him. Ben Kessous eventually folded, and Newman casually tossed over KdJs as he collected the pot.

Michael Newman – 165,000 (138 bb)
Yossi Ben Kessous – 18,000 (15 bb)
