Massey Rising

Aaron Massey opened to 320,000 on the button and was called by both Matt Newcombe in the small blind and Andy Robinson in the big blind.

The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{4-Spades} and action was checked to Massey. He bet 360,000 with only Newcombe calling to see the {Q-Clubs} turn. Both players checked and did the same when the {J-Hearts} river fell.

"Two pair," said Newcombe. Massey stayed motionless until Newcombe tabled {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for queens and jacks with the king kicker on board. Massey turned over {A-Spades}{J-Spades} for the same two pair with an ace kicker to take down the pot.

The following hand was a limped pot that delivered a {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop. Andy Robinson checked from the small blind to Massey who bet 200,000 from the big blind. Matt Newcombe, on the button, popped it to 400,000 and chased out Robinson. Massey had other ideas, though, and re-raised to 800,000.

Newcombe folded immediately and Massey won the pot.
