Charlie Carrel Knocks Out Newey

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Charlie Carrel
Charlie Carrel

Charlie Carrel and Paul Newey got it all into the middle pre-flop, and with Newey at risk, the famously loud-shirted player, in his element right here in the Bahamas, was in dreadful shape. He held {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, but Carrel, who has enjoyed a spectacularly successful last twelve months, including a runner-up in the $100,000 Super High Roller just yesterday here at the PokerStars Championships, held {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

The board of {10-Spades}{A-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} did nothing to help Newey and he was on his feet by the turn. Carrel marches on with that busting, and he's feeling good up at 235,000.
