Newey Among the Chip Leaders

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Paul Newey bet the heads-up turn of {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for 9,000 into a pot of 17,000 when he was on the button and the cutoff had checked. Once the call followed, the cutoff checked the {6-Spades} turn and folded to a bet of 35,000.

Newey bumped his stack to nearly 200,000 and appears to be among the chip leaders.

Final Break of Day 1b

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Lee Has the Nuts; Busts Tian

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On the tail end of a hand between Hao Tian in the big blind and Daniel Lee in early position, the former checked the {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs} river. There were 21,000 in the middle and Tian had 22,000 behind while Lee pushed for 28,000.

Tian tanked for several minutes and called to get shown {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for the nut flush. Tian mucked and one player inquired to see them as it was an all-in showdown. The dealer picked up the cards from close to the muck and revealed {7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for a pair of treys.
