Newhouse Still Has Hopes of Another Deep Run
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Daniel Custodio, Mark Newhouse, and Jesse Rosen went three-ways to a flop of 3♣4♣5♠. With around 4,300 chips in the middle, Custodio led out from the big blind for 1,500. Newhouse raised to 5,000 from under the gun before Rosen three-bet to 12,200 from the hijack.
Custodio quickly got out of the way, but Newhouse committed his entire stack of 39,000. Rosen snap called and a showdown was had.
Mark Newhouse: A♣10♣
Jesse Rosen: 5♥5♣
Newhouse had a combo draw to the nut flush and a wheel, while Rosen was sitting on top set. The K♣ turn saw Newhouse hit his flush, and the board remained free of pairs when the 8♠ river completed the hand.
Newhouse doubled up in his efforts to finally better his back-to-back ninth-place finishes in 2013 and 2014.
