Newcombe Slides
Matt Newcombe sat atop the chip counts briefly after John Riordan lost some chips, but Newcombe just lost a pot of his own.
After a player in middle position opened to 11,000, Newcombe called from the hijack. The player in the cutoff put in a three-bet to 42,000 and only Newcombe came along to see the 
flop.
A check from Newcombe led to a bet of about 43,000 from his opponent. After a good 90 seconds in the tank, Newcombe popped it to 101,000, but his opponent had none of it. A quick all-in and fold came next, as Newcombe lost roughly 150,000 of his stack.
