2014 November Nine Moments - Full House Too Small for Newhouse

Pocket 5's definitely have a thing for back-to-back November Niner @Mark Newhouse. That was his winning starting hand both on the money bubble and the final table bubble. What is more, both times the starting pair was made up of 5♥ and 5♠!

Mark's pocket-fives-turned-quads eliminated @John Dwyer (US) with Queens Full! (Dwyer was one of three players who shared the 693rd place prize money, together with @Carl Zhen and @Kori Hunter)

On Day 7 it was with this starting hand that Mark Newhouse eliminated @Jose-Luis Velador in the 10th place and set the biggest final table in poker.
