Newport Eliminated by Fox

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Jorden Fox opened to 120,000 from early position and Volodymyr Drokin called on the button. With the action on Nick Newport in the small blind, he three-bet to 485,000.

The big blind folded, and Fox announced he was all in and placed a stack of lavender 100,000-denomination chips into the pot.

Drokin folded, and rather quickly, Newport called all in for roughly 2,240,000.

Fox: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Newport: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

It was the typical tournament coinflip, and once the ESPN cameras had arrived, the dealer was given the go-ahead to spread the {5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop.

The turn landed the {J-Spades} to now see Newport needing to fade an ace, king, or queen to stay alive, but when the dealer dropped the {A-Diamonds} on the river, he would be eliminated in a pot that was close to 5 million in chips.
