Newcombe Joins The Half Million Chip Club

Population: 2

A few hours after John Riordan crossed 500,000, somebody else has finally done the same. Matt Newcombe had about 420,000 in chips before busting an opponent.

After raising and calling an opponent's re-raise, Newcombe watched a {Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop hit the board. His opponent fired at it, but Newcombe came along to see the {8-Clubs} turn. His opponent went all in for about 110,000 and Newcombe was more than happy to call with {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a turned set. With {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}, his opponent found no help from the river.
