On a flop of 9
72, Dustin Holladay checked from the big blind and Thomas Newton bet 100,000. Holladay called.
The turn was the 6
and Holladay checked again. Newton moved all in for about 200,000 and Holladay quickly called.
Holladay showed KJ, good for the second nuts, and had Newton’s Q
9 drawing dead. The river was the inconsequential 7 and Holladay extended his chip lead.
Dustin Holladay – 1,530,000
Thomas Newton – Eliminated

Thomas Newton Doubles Through Vantz Burke
Jun 27, '21
Action folded to Thomas Newton in the small blind, who moved all in for 126,000. Vantz Burke was in the big blind and called.
Burke was in the lead with his A
Q against Newton’s 109.
The flop was K87, giving Newton plenty of equity with an open-ended straight draw. The turn was the 7, adding a flush draw to Newton’s hand. He filled both of them on the river with the J.
Newton doubled up, but on a neighboring table, Heather Grote was eliminated in 25th place and the tournament staff paused the clock momentarily while the final 24 players redraw for seats at the final three tables.
Thomas Newton – 262,000
Vantz Burke – 160,000
Heather Grote – Eliminated
