Mark Newhouse

Mark Newhouse is a professional poker player. Formerly known for his online prowess in fixed limit holdem games, he transitioned to other forms of poker in the mid 2000s. In the later 2000s, he became more of a public figure by managing a number of live poker tournament wins.

As of 2014, Mark Newhouse's claim to fame is that he is the first player in the history of the World Series of Poker to reach the "November Nine" twice, by final tabling the WSOP main event in 2013 and 2014. The November Nine is the new format of delaying the final table of the Main Event five months and playing the final table on ESPN in November. Mark was also the first and only person since Dan Harrington to make consecutive WSOP ME final table appearances.

In 2013 and 2014, Mark Newhouse has the distinction of being the first player to bust each year. Each of his ninth place finishes netted him $730,000 and $733,000 respectively. His total lifetime cashes exceed $3,500,000 USD.
