That Was Terrible...

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We got to the table with a big pot brewing after Matt Newcombe and the player to his immediate left limping in. A third player limped as well and a short-stacked Reginald Roberts moved all in for his last 8,200. Newcombe called as did the player to his immediate left. The third limped moved all in causing Newcombe to go into the tank.

"I really don't know what you'd do that with," said Newcombe, who was looking at a stack of less than 20 big blinds in front of him. He decided to make the call and after the last remaining player folded Newcombe turned over one card, the {8-Spades} while Roberts also turned over one card, the {8-Diamonds}.

"Can we just run it out like this," Newcombe asked after his opponent turned over {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. The dealer wouldn't let that happen and after seeing Roberts {10-Clubs}, Newcombe said "I have that beat" as he turned over the {J-Spades}.

The dealer moved Newcombe into the lead when he put out a flop of {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and he would maintain that lead and win the pot when the turn was the {5-Hearts} and the river was the {7-Diamonds}.

Newcombe shook his head in disbelief. "That was terrible and I was rewarded. Nice play."
