Massey Doubles Through Newcombe

Matt Newcombe opened to 310,000 on the button and Andy Robinson folded his small blind. Aaron Massey three-bet to 800,000 from the big blind, Newcombe called, and the flop came down {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

A bet of 500,000 came from Massey and Newcombe called to see the {6-Spades} turn. Massey fired again, this time for 925,000. Newcombe paused for a few seconds before raising all in.

Massey snap called all in for 5,025,000 and tabled {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a flopped set. Newcombe was behind, but had plenty of outs with {K-Spades}{8-Clubs} with a flush draw and inside straight draw.

The river was black...but it was a safe {K-Clubs} for Massey to score the massive double up.
