Paul Newey's elimination from the $25,000 High Roller in 11th place reminds us of his near-miss in the $100,000 Super High Roller a few days ago. There Newey's tourney run ended one spot shy of the cash in an intriguing three-way all-in hand involving himself, eventual winner Fabian Quoss, and Mike McDonald (who happens to be second in chips to start today's final table in the PCA Main Event).
That was one of the more interesting hands from this year's PCA thus far, one of a few that have been discussed over on Learn.PokerNews this week. Read about it in a post titled "Lessons from the 2014 PCA: Poker's Endless Surprises," then click around to read discussions of other PCA hands plus other strategy advice and features for beginning players as well as those with more experience.
