Newey Lays it Down

Level 1 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Paul Newey raised to 5,000 in the hijack and was called by Sam Soverel in the small blind and Eric Hicks in the big.

Action checked to Newey on the {6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, who bet 9,000. Soverel then check-raised to 30,000 and only Newey called.

The {9-Diamonds} fell on the turn and Soverel bet a hefty 140,000, sending Newey into the tank.

Newey eventually let his hand go and Soverel scooped the pot.
