Newcombe's Domination

Andy Robinson opened to 250,000 and was called by Matt Newcombe in the big blind. The flop came down {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Newcombe check-called a bet of 275,000.

The {q-Diamonds} hit the turn and Newcombe took this opportunity to fire 595,000 into the center. Robinson released and Newcombe showed his hand to the table--{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, for nothing but the dummy end of a gutshot draw.

The next hand Aaron Massey opened to 250,000 from the button and was called by Newcombe out of the small. Jay Merchant three-bet to 575,000 from the big blind and Massey folded. Newcombe called and they both checked the {4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop.

Newcombe checked the {K-Clubs} turn and Merchant bet 575,000 more. Newcombe moved all in and Merchant released. Newcombe is now sitting around 7,700,000 in chips.
