Michael Newman's (Nanuet, NY) dream run continues, after he doubles through Victor Figueroa, chipping up above the average.

Table 1 was approached just as Michael Newman's stack was being broken down by the dealer, having just doubled up through Victor Figueroa.  The chips got in on the turn of a board reading A♥ 2♦ J♦ 5♦, with Newman holding A♦ 4♦, against the J♥ 5♥ of Figueroa.  The river didn't not bring a full house for Victor, who's two pair fell to Newman's flush.

Newman now sits with just over 180,000, and is looking to make a similar "dream run" to Noel Atherley, who bought into Event #15 on Day 2 (only to go on and win the tournament).

Michael Newman - 184,000 (46bb)

Victor Figeuroa - 120,000 (40bb)
