Michael Newman

With the board reading JsTh3c7c, TK Miles checked, Michael Newman bet 150,000 and Miles called.

The river was 5s, Miles checked, Newman bet 250,000 and Miles check-raised to 1,200,000.

Newman sat back and started talking through what Miles could have.

“I have a set,” Newman said. “I don’t know how I can fold this.”

After another minute, Newman tossed in chips to call.

Miles showed Jh5d for two pair jacks and fives, but Newman was honest and best with his 3s3d for a set of threes.

Michael Newman – 5,400,000 (90 bb)
TK Miles – 6,650,000 (111 bb)
