Newey's Two Pair is Better

Level 5 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

On a board of {8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, John Morgan led out with a bet of 115,000. Paul Newey came over the top with a raise to 317,000 and send Morgan into the tank. Ultimately, he opted to call the raise and see the final card.

The dealer produced the {A-Hearts} on the river, prompting two checks from the players. Morgan tabled {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for queens and eights, only to be bested by Newey's {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for a better two pair of kings and queens. Newey took down the pot and now has about 3.245 million in chips.
