Newcombe Leaves

Someone in late position opened the pot with a raise to 26,000, and Chris Deziel three-bet to 71,000 in the small blind. Next door in the big, Matt Newcombe came in from the cold with a four-bet shove for about 180,000 total, give or take. That folded the initial raiser, but Deziel quickly called with the covering stack and a chance at the knockout.

Showdown
Deziel: {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts}
Newcombe: {Q-Spades} {9-Spades}

"Ace-nine, really??" Newcombe asked of Deziel, but it had indeed been the correct play. The board ran out unfavorably for the at-risk player, coming {4-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {A-Spades} {3-Diamonds} to end his day.

Newcombe is out, and Deziel stacks his chips to move up close to the half-million chip mark.
