Newey Wins the Race to Double Up
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Paul Newey opened the action with a raise all in for his stack of 1,500,000 from early position. It then folded to the small blind Matas Cimbolas who three-bet all in, which got a quick fold from the big big blind, leaving the players heads up, with Newey at risk.
Paul Newey: A?8? 
Matas Cimbolas: 7?7?
It was a flip, but Newey would need to improve to stay in the tournament. He managed to do just that once the board ran out K?Q?8?3?K? to secure the double up with his two pair, kings and eights.
