Newey Fails to Win the All-In

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Paul Newey
Paul Newey

Paul Newey shoved from the button for 274,000 and was called by Pavel Yakobson in the big blind.

Paul Newey: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Pavel Yakobson: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Yakobson shook his head when he saw Newey's hand but was a lot happier when the {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} came on the flop as he hit a set.

The turn was the {8-Spades} which now gave Newey some extra outs as he picked up an open-ended straight draw but the river was the {a-Clubs} to not help Newey at all as he was sent to the rail.
