Loosli and Newey Sharing Table Space

Sylvain Loosli comes into Day 1B in fine form. He made two side event final tables at both EPT Malta and the EPT Grand Final. He earned over $200,000. He will be hoping for more of the same today.

The Frenchman shares a table with Paul Newey. The businessman, who nows plays poker full-time as a hobby, also appeared on Day 1A, and returns for his second attempt. Here are the pair in some early action.

Under the gun opens to 325 and Paul Newey defends the big blind. The flop is 9 6 4, and both players check. The turn is the 4, Newey checks, his opponent feigns to bet, and Newey has already mucked.

Next we see the cutoff open to 300. Loosli flats on the button. The flop is K 8 3. Loosli calls a 400 c-bet. The turn is the 9. The original raiser checks, Loosli bets 850, and his opponent folds.
