Event 16: Newton Survives Through Backdoor

Jim Newton got all in preflop against Joe Altomonte.

Altomonte: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Newton: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades}

The first four cards were {3-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, leaving Newton drawing to a ten. Sure enough, the {10-Diamonds} was the river, and Newton has about 200,000 while Altomonte fell to 200,000.
