Event 13: Edward Newman - 5th Place

$350 + $50 Seniors No Limit Hold'em

Edward Newman - 5th Place - $2,851

Dealer button raised and Edward Newman saw the flop fall K-J-8.

He got his money in good holding Q-J as his Opponent called with only 10-10.

Sure enough a ten spiked the river and spanked Edward Newman's poker life to the rail.

"I felt good since I started the day so short stacked at around 34,000. This last hand I shoved with about 100,000" said Newman.

Everyone wants first but when you're short stacked all day, cashing in for $2,851 for fifth place isn't too shabby.
