At another table, after a flop of Club 10Club 4Diamond 3 with 43K already in the pot, Matt Newcombe is all in for 38,000 with Club ADiamond 5 (gutshot straight draw), and he needs to improve to stay alive against the Spade ADiamond 9 of David Pham.

The turn card is the Club 6, the river card is the Club 7, and Newcombe catches a runner-runner seven-high straight to win the pot and double up in chips.

Matt Newcombe  –  119,000  (20 bb)
David Pham  –  525,000  (88 bb)
