Newell Flops the World
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Fausto Tantillo bet 13,000 from the hijack and was called by the cutoff, small blind and Jonathan Newell in the big blind.
The monotone flop of 7♠4♠2♠ encouraged Newell to move all in and covered the three remaining players. Tantillo folded, the cutoff called for 160,000 and the small blind folded.
Cutoff: 7♦7♣
Jonathan Newell: J♠10♠
The cutoff's set of sevens was behind Newell's flopped flush. The board did not pair as the 9♣8♦ completed the board and Newell dragged in the pot.
