The dream is still alive for John New in Flight D of the $500K GTD Main Event.
On blinds of 1,500/2,500/2,500, Karanvir Singh opened to 5,000 from UTG. John Montgormery and Ben Anderson called from UTG+1 and the lojack before John New, in the cutoff, moved all-in for 7,500.
Joshua Hale was in the big blind and shoved over the top for roughly 65,000. Singh took a few seconds before saying, "I want to gamble." Singh also moved all-in as the covering stack.
Hale and New tabled pairs as Singh rolled over king-queen.
Singh: K♠Q♠
Hale: J♥J♦ (all-in)
New: 3♥3♣ (all-in)
Board: K♦7♣3♠7♥3♦
The flop paired Singh's king but delivered a set of threes for New and the board paired itself on the turn.
Hale needed a black jack and Singh could score a double elimination with another king but the 3d river delivered quads for New.
Hale was eliminated in the side pot. 30 players remain.
11 players will finish in the money with the final 7 players advancing to Sunday's 2:30PM Day Two Restart.
