Newhouse is 4th out of 18 with 16,280,000.
Dan Harrington's cognoscenti are getting very nervous right now.
Dan Harrington won the gold bracelet and the World Champion title at the $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em Championship at the 1995 World Series of Poker. And he was the only player to make it to the final table in 2003 (field of 839) and 2004 (field of 2576) considered by cognoscenti to be the greatest accomplishment in WSOP history.
Not Anymore
Hand #15: Newhouse raised to 425,000 in the hijack, and Stephensen three-bet to 1.1 million in the big blind. Newhouse wasn't laying down, instead coming back with a four-bet before calling the shove of Stephensen for 7,060,000.
Stephensen: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Newhouse: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
The flop: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}, giving Stephensen top pair. An {8-Hearts} turn was a blank, as was the {2-Hearts} river.
Geez. This reminds me of the infamous A7 moment with Joseph Cheong. What was Newhouse thinking here?
Obviously the guy has to be playing great overall to make it this deep twice in a row, but how do you not abandon A9 there, which is always drawing to 3 outs in this spot?
Guess he was obsessed with not believing what appeared to be a BB resteal.

Looking at that hand in black and white, it's pretty fucking horrible. Even his 4bet (2.4/5 tops?) wouldn't give him the odds to call off a 7m shove with A9.
But he likely had a very good reason to get stubborn like that...
No other explanation, unless I got the math wrong?
After many 12-hour days of intense poker playing with thousands of good decisions made...I think one screwup can be forgiven. gg Mr. Newhouse
also very possible he shoved and the other guy called on the last bet and pokernews messed up the hand. If this is not the case like you said more of than not he is looking at 3 outs and playing half his stack on a call here is super risky especially when he was in prime position to make a run at a final table.
Anyhow he still has 7 million left and is 7 away from another final table.
Oh for sure it is a great run but if he gets eliminated he won't look at it that way. I just say this because I have seen some tweets from him saying he is not finishing 9th again and I think that was before the main started!! Seems like he feels he has some unfinished business to take care of. Hopefully he can finish this off and get a huge score.

@wsoptd @wsop @sethpalansky May want to have security do a sweep of the mothership perch, some seem to think they can be here with no badge
well he flopped a set and got value on 3 streets, 4th in chips now
Hand #43: Mark Newhouse raised to 500,000 from under the gun, Bruno Politano called in middle position, and the two took a flop of {q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Newhouse led out for 600,000, Politano called, and the turn was the {9-Spades}.
Newhouse led out again — this time for 1.1 million — Politano called, and the {4-Clubs} completed the board. Newhouse fired out a third and final bullet worth 2.75 million, Politano snap-called, and Newhouse showed {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for a flopped set of deuces.
The 2013 November Niner was pushed the pot, and he now has over 15 million chips.
Right back where he started.
Reason #1,596 why I couldn't play in the ME. I'd just want to fucking hang myself after a hand like this so close to a 7 figure payday.
Hand #52: Jorryt van Hoof opened to 525,000 from the cutoff and Eddy Sabat called from the big blind. The flop came down and both players checked to see the hit the turn. Sabat led at the turn for 600,0000 and van Hoof flatted.
The hit the felt on the river and Sabat cut out a bet of 1.15 million. Van Hoof announced all in over the top and Sabat instantly shifted in his seat. He shook his head and counted out his chip stack. His all in was for 5.975 million total and he took his time making his decision.
Sabat stood from the table and plopped chips into the center, signifying a call. Van Hoof immediately tabled for the nuts.
"Aw, man, he's got the nuts," said Sabat as he rolled over for a lower flush. His hand was pulled into the muck and he became the 16th-place finisher.
Van Hoof raked in the pot and brought his stack up to 26.655 million for the overall tournament chip lead.
Edit - flop top pair and turn a st8 and flush draw only to loose to a bigger flush.
