Newey Turns onto Broadway
Level 13
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Max Altergott opened to 34,000 from under the gun, Mike McDonald called in the cutoff, and Paul Newey three-bet to 130,000 on the button. Altergott responded with a four-bet to 225,000, McDonald quickly folded, and Newey tanked for a considerable amount of time before calling.
The flop fell 
, and Newey quickly checked. Altergott bet a measly 85,000, and Newey thought for two or three minutes before moving all in for 296,000. Altergott immediately called.
Newey: 
Altergott: 
Newey needed help, and received it when the 
turned, giving him Broadway. The German could still fill up with an ace or a king on the river, but failed to do so when the 
completed the board.
