Newcombe Rising

The player in the hijack shoved for about 60,000 and Matt Newcombe called from the small blind with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. His opponent tabled {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and picked up plenty of more outs on the {10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop.

Fortunately for Newcombe, he faded his opponent's outs as the {6-Diamonds} turn and {A-Diamonds} river improved his hand to a flush while also upping his stack to about 270,000.
