It Came From the Muck
Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Justin Newlen was away from the table as the dealer was dealing the next hand. The dealer dealt Newlen's hand in front of him to make it easier to muck.
Newlen quickly hurried back to his seat and was back before the last card came off the deck. The dealer and Newlen confirmed with the floor person and the dealer handed Newlen his hand.
Newlen made a joke about probably not wanting to play the hand and then he looked down and took a beat. He reached for some chips and raised to 6,100. John Bowman called and the two were heads up to the flop.
The flop came 
and Newlen led for 7,300. Bowman went into the tank for some time, then folded.
