Two Days After Second Ninth-Place Finish In Two Years, Newhouse Says 'It's Whatever' And 'I'll Be OK'

Poker pro Mark Newhouse just finished ninth in the World Series of Poker main event in back-to-back years. It was the first time that someone made two WSOP main event final tables in a row since the main event field sizes exploded nearly a decade ago.

Ironically, Newhouse took to Twitter in July when he bought into the main event and said that he wouldn’t be finishing ninth again. The odds were astronomical, but it happened.

Newhouse was silent on social media in the aftermath of his early exit from the 2014 final table, but resurfaced early Wednesday indicating that he’s recovering just fine. After his elimination, some people on Twitter were callously making comments about Newhouse being “on suicide watch.” On the contrary, he appears ready to move on.

Here’s what Newhouse said Wednesday:
