Newey Tanks With Aces
Niveau 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Paul Newey raised to 40,000 from under the gun, leaving himself 40,000 more behind the line. Manuel Fischer, in the cutoff, clicked it back to 68,000 and Newey tanked for several minutes, burning through his last time bank slips, before making the call.
The dealer spread the Q♣Q♥2♠ and Newey began to think, again before finally committing his last 12,000 into the middle. Fischer snap-called.
Paul Newey: A♠A♣
Manuel Fischer: A♦K♦
The turn and the river landed the 2♦ and 4♦ respectively, ensuring Newey's double up. With the looming pay jump of €3,400, the table was in good spirits about Newey's tactical tanking, as he dragged in the pot.
