Newcombe Doubles Through Robinson

Matt Newcombe opened to 145,000 in the cutoff and Andy Robinson defended his big blind.

Both players checked the {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop to see the {A-Clubs} turn. Robinson check-called 165,000 from Newcombe, landing the {2-Diamonds} river. A third check from Robinson led to another Newcombe bet, this one for all of it. Newcombe shoved for 1,095,000, sending Robinson deep into the tank.

After about two minutes, Robinson called.

"Got it," said an excited Newcombe, showing {A-Spades}{8-Spades} for two pair.

Robinson quickly showed {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} thinking that Newcombe had meant that he got it.

"Nice hand, thought you meant I had it," said Robinson.
