"Nitty Newey Never Would Have Played That"

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Brian Roberts - Justin Bonomo - Paul Newey
Brian Roberts - Justin Bonomo - Paul Newey

In the last hand of the night, Brian Roberts opened for 12,500 and Justin Bonomo called from the hijack. A short-stacked Paul Newey then moved all in blind from the cutoff for 82,500. The button and blinds all folded, and then both Roberts and Bonomo called.

The {9-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop saw Roberts bet 40,000, Bonomo called, and then both players checked the {Q-Spades} turn as well as the {6-Clubs} river. Bonomo showed the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, which was behind the {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} of Roberts. Newey then revealed the {k-Spades}{9-Spades} for two pair.

"Saved myself €25,000," a joyful Newey said after discovering he tripled up.

"Best poker I've ever seen you play," Senh Ung, one of Newey's best friends, said from the rail.

"Nitty Newey never would have played that," Rob Schiffbauer added.
