Mark Newhouse Wins a Big Pot from Shawn Keller

With the board reading {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} Mark Newhouse bet 55,000 and Shawn Keller sat for a long time thinking things through. Newhouse called the clock and Keller said, "I have a big hand," trying to elicit some reaction. "I can't turn my hand face up, can I?" Keller asked and was told that no, he couldn't.

Keller finally made the call and Newhouse turned over {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for the full house, which bested Keller's {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}. That pot sent Newhouse up to 200,000 and left Keller with around 20,000.
