Newton Keeps Climbing
Level 29
: 60,000/120,000, 180,000 ante
Blind versus blind, Roland Israelashvili raised to 285,000 and Thomas Newton called. Israelashvili took one, while Newton drew two.
Israelashvili checked after the draw and Newton put out a bet of 700,000. Israelashvili spent several minutes in the tank, placing two blue 100,000 chips on top of a tower of 25,000 chips.
He eventually slid that stack forward. "Eight-seven," Newton announced, turning over 
.
"Nice," Israelashvili said before mucking.
