Newey Gives Up

Paul Newey opened for 325,000 from the button and Leonid Markin almost instantly three bet to 625,000. Newey took his time, and asked the dealer if the raise was valid. The dealer confirmed it was, and Newey asked Markin next what he had behind. Markin said he had about 2 million behind, but it was very clear that it was more like 3 million. There ws no official count, but Markin soon said it was indeed a little over 3 million as he mistook a stack of 100,000's wirth 2 million for worth 1 million.

Newey made the call, but folded after Markin pushed on .
