Newcombe Wins One Off Salaburu

Matt Newcombe opened the action by limping in from the cutoff. Robert Salaburu popped it to 26,000 from the small blind, Newcombe called, and a {J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop fell.

Salaburu bet 24,000 and Newcombe called after a few moments to see the {Q-Hearts} turn. The 2012 Octo-Niner fired again, this time for 60,000. Newcombe again made a deliberate call and both players quickly checked the {A-Diamonds} river.

Salaburu commented to himself that he should have bet as he tabled {K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for nothing. Newcombe took it down with {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.
