Nick Newport opened to 10,000 from early position, and was met with a three-bet to 22,000 by JP McCann from the button. Action folded back to Newport, who thought for a bit before four-bet jamming for 95,000. McCann took some time but ultimately made the call with the covering stack.
Nick Newport: AhKs

JP McCann – 480,000 (120 bb)
Nick Newport – eliminated
