Michael Newman

The clock rolled over into the afternoon and we expected to find ten-time SHRP winner Michael Newman sitting in the Event 4 Pot Limit Omaha field to defend his title. Instead, we found him seated in the huge Ultimate Re-Entry Flight E field trying to push his first stack forward.

Newman accomplished quite the feat last year when he won a tournament in three straight SHRP major series. He won the SHRPO $570 event in August 2016, followed that up with his RRPO Pot Limit Omaha win last November, and capped it off with another Pot Limit Omaha win during the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open.
