Ace from Space Spins Newland's Shove Into Gold

Level 6
: 300/600, 600 ante

The player in the hijack opened for 1,500 and the cutoff called. David Larson, who finished runner up in the Pro Bounty, came along from the button, and then 8-Game Championship runner up Vincent Newland three-bet to 7,000 from the small blind.
The hijack and cutoff both folded before Larson called to see a flop. Newland moved all in for 17,800 and Larson quickly called.
Newland:
Larson:
Newland was caught with his hand in the cookie jar, but instead of being punished he was rewarded with the on the turn. The
river was no help to Larson and he sent double-up chips to Newland.
