Rodney Spriggs limped in early and saw Eric Bunch raise to 16,000 on his left. Action folded to John Newcombe, who put his last 26,000 in. Spriggs made sure action wasn't reopened to Bunch before calling, and Bunch called as well. Spriggs bet 35,000 into the dry side pot on the ![]()
![]()
flop, and Bunch shoved all in. Spriggs snapped it off.
Spriggs: ![]()
Bunch: ![]()
Newcombe: ![]()

"I'm the king of the bubble," Michael Newport said with a shake of his head as he got up from the outer-most table.
