Phil Galfond raised on the button to about 44,000 effective and Stewart Newman called all in from the big blind.

Galfond: {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Newman: {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The {J-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop didn't change much, though the {A-Hearts} turn gave Newman a flush draw while pairing Galfond. The {7-Spades} river was of no consequence to Newman, clinching the match and a seat at the final table for Galfond.
