Newcomb Holds Identical Holdings; Newcomb Exits
Faced with two preflop shoves in front of him, Wayne Newcomb was in the tank to close the action.
"Ugh, I really don't think I should call this," he said aloud, "but even if Dont win I can still get into the late flight..."
After a few more moments, he talked himself into a call to put both players at risk as the cards were tabled.
Opponent: A?Q?
James Harper: 10?10?
Wayne Newcomb: A?Q?
Harper was sure happy to see that his opponents held each other's outs and the runout of J?6?9?4?7? didn't have any nasty surprises to award him the pot for the triple-up.
The very next hand, after calling 9,000 preflop, Wayne Newcomb lead-jammed on a flop of 4?3?5? and was called by Justin Kelley to put him at risk.
Wayne Newcomb: 4?5?
Justin Kelley: A?7?
Newcomb was in good shape with his flopped two-pair, but the runout was not his friend as it came 7?3? to give Kelley a superior hand of sevens and threes to take the pot. Newcomb then shook his head and made his way to the exit as he pledged to return for the evening flight.
