Newman Runs Good IMO

According to Clayton “Clayton27” Newman, he runs good.
Newman, pictured right, told us he raised before the flop and got two callers. We walked up to his table as the flop of K
9
8
was being dealt and watched Newman lead out for 4K. The player in seat nine was his only caller and the turn was the J. Newman bet 12.2K this time and his opponent moved all in for almost 40K. Newman said “call” way before the man could move his chips into the middle and quickly turned over his Q
T. His opponent looked at Newman’s hand in disbelief and then disgust as he turned over KJ. The river was the 6, sealing the victory for Newman. He now has 117K as the players head out on their 90-minute dinner break.
Ray “WirdPair” Foley is playing over in the Miranda Room and was almost involved in a big hand right before the dinner break. A player raised to 1.5K from early position and was called by the player on his direct left. Foley re-raised to 6.5K, leaving about 20K behind, and action folded back to the original raiser. He eyed down Ray for a few minutes before folding and the caller to his left folded too. Foley allowed the original raiser to pick a card, he did, and the Q was turned face up.
“I think we may of had the same hand,” he told Foley.
Regardless of Ray’s holdings he took down the pot and is sitting with over 40K at dinner break.
Across the room Dutch “havoj” Boyd (pictured at left) is bleeding chips. On one hand Boyd opened from late position and a short stacked player re -raised all in. Boyd was forced to call and found his K5 slightly ahead of his opponent’s JT. The board ran T86Q5 though and Dutch lost the pot.
The very last hand before break Boyd called a pre-flop raise to 2.2K and so too did a player in the big blind. The flop fell Q73, the big blind checked and the original raiser bet 5K. Dutch called and the big blind folded. The turn brought the 6 and Boyd’s opponent check-called a 5K bet. Both players checked the K on the river and Dutch’s opponent rolled over AQ. Dutch mucked and quickly exited for dinner break. He’ll have just 17K to work with when he returns.
Unfortunately we have lost some players in the last hour. Recent eliminations include Alex “42o never loses” Case, Zachary “CrazyZachary” Clark and Kevin “ShuMoneyTonite” Kaikko.
