Three months after final tabling his first WSOP event, the 21-year-old went on to win the 2006 WPT Borgata Poker Open along with $1,519,020. With a bankroll worth well over a million dollars, Newhouse took his game to the L.A. Commerce Casino.<\/p>\n<p>Newhouse&#8217;s plan was to spin his profits into an even larger bankroll through cash games at the Commerce. Unfortunately things didn&#8217;t work out quite as planned since the young grinder &#8220;lost his mind&#8221; and set his money &#8220;on fire.&#8221; As Newhouse attests to, he wasn&#8217;t very smart with his winnings and this cost him.<\/p>\n<p>But the Chapel Hill, North Carolina native never gave up on poker. He&#8217;s continued to play professionally for the past decade through a mix of online games and traveling between L.A and Las Vegas. He&#8217;s sporadically played tournaments during this time as well and decided to enter the 2013 WSOP Main Event.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the 2013 ME, Newhouse looked like a determined man, never giving up on his bid for the final table. And Newhouse managed to do the unthinkable by battling through 6,358 players and into the November Nine. &#8220;I&#8217;m feeling great, it was a crazy day,&#8221; he said after making the final table. &#8220;Anyone who knows me and who plays poker with me on a regular basis knows I&#8217;m not a patient person, but there&#8217;s so much on the line, you just have to do it sometimes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With 7,350,000 chips, Newhouse&#8217;s odds of winning the 2013 Main Event aren&#8217;t the greatest. He&#8217;s miles away from chip leader J.C. Tran (38 million chips) and the second shortest overall stack at the final table. But win or lose, Newhouse has already accomplished quite a bit just by making it this far. And even if he busts out in ninth place, he&#8217;s still guaranteed a $733,224 payout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eight years ago, Mark Newhouse was on the path to poker stardom.
