Newhouse Notches a Knockout

The player on the button opened the pot by moving all in for his last 15,000 or so. In the big blind, Mark Newhouse made the call, having his opponent covered.

Newhouse tabled {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts}, slightly ahead of the at-risk player's {J-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}. The flop had an ace in it, and the board would end up reading {A-Spades} {6-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {9-Spades}. With nines full, Newhouse eliminates a player, climbing to 53,000 in the process.
