Christgen and Newey Go to Showdown

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

There was an early position open and three flat calls, by Paul Newey and Thomas Christgen behind and from Leo Margets in the big blind.

The flop came down {2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and there were three checks to Christgen, who bet 1,700. Only Newey paid to see the turn card and it was an {a-Spades}. Both players checked and a {7-Spades} completed the river. Once again both players checked, taking them to showdown and Christgen won with the higher pair.

Thomas Christgen: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Paul Newey {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
