David Newcomer Eliminated in 20th Place ($17,577)

David Newcomer has been nursing his short stack admirably since being crippled by that two-outer with aces. Just a moment ago, however, his day was ended in dramatic fashion by Austin McCormick.

McCormick started the action with a raise from the cutoff to 33,000, and Newcomer moved all in for 116,000 in the next seat over. McCormick called.

Showdown
McCormick: {9-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}
Newcomer: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

The flop was an awesome one, coming out {3-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} to make things quite interesting with two cards to come. The turn was a safe blank for Newcomer, the {4-Hearts}, and he was one card away from his third comeback double up.

He could not fade the {A-Diamonds} on the river, though, and that diamond flush earns McCormick the pot and the knockout.

After a valiant short-stacked battle, David Newcomer is out in 20th place.
