Newey Falls to Chidwick; Reenters Straight Away

Level 8 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

We missed the elimination of Paul Newey, but learned some details after the fact courtesy of Brian Rast. As he told it, Stephen Chidwick had opened with a raise holding {k-}{q-} and Newey defended his big blind with the {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

The {q-}{q-}{10-} flop saw Newey check-call a bet of 6,000 and then get his last 25,000 all in when the {8-Clubs} turn gave him a flush. Chidwick put him at risk, and then scored the knockout when a {10-} paired the board on the river and improved him to a full house.

Newey immediately made his way to the registration desk to reenter and has been reseated at the feature table.
