Isle Open Event 1 (Flight 1A): Newcomb Turns The Nuts, And The Action Ensues

2017 Isle Open | Event #1
$175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 7 (Blinds 250/500/75)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 102


James Newcomb (Parkland, FL) triples up after turning a straight, and watching his two opponents stick
all of their chips in the middle.

Action was approached at Table 4, with three players looking down at a board of K 9 3 J♣.  Carlos Loving led the turn for 8,500, with James Newcomb (Parkland, FL) flatting the bet, and Frank Martin going in the tank.  After about a minute of thought, Martin collected his chips and dropped them across his cards, going all-in for 16,250.  

Carlos Loving had both players covered, and took little time before making the call, with James Newcomb almost beating both players into the pot (with a stack of 16,450).  James had turned the nut-straight with Q 10♠, and would be up against the K J of Martin, and the A K♠ of Loving.  The A♠ on the river would improve Loving to two-pair, but that just left him as the second place finisher in the hand.  Newcomb would collect the pot worth over 50,000, vaulting himself up the leaderboard.

James Newcomb - 51,500
