Newberry Runs into Greene's Boat
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Limits: 2,500-8,500
James Newberry made it 5,000 to go from middle position and picked up three callers. Ali Abduljabbar called from the button, Sam Soverel from the small blind, and Jonathan Greene out of the big blind.
When it checked to Newberry on the 9♣3♦J♠ flop, he bet 10,000. Abduljabbar and Soverel folded, but Greene check-raised to 40,000. Newberry pondered briefly before jamming for around 80,000. Greene happily called.
James Newberry: A♦J♣7♦3♠ 
Jonathan Greene: A♠J♥9♦7♠
Newberry was behind against the top two pair of Greene. The 5♦ on the turn gave Newberry a low draw and a flush draw. The J♦ river improved Newberry to a flush, but also helped Greene make a boat. Newberry was out, and Greene added to his stack.
