Mark Newhouse biography
Mark Newhouse was born on March 11, 1985, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He dropped out of Appalachian State University to play poker after turning a $50 online deposit into more than $100,000 in a month.
In 2006 he won the WPT Borgata No-Limit Hold'em Championship for $1,519,020 and made more than $2 million in his first year as a professional, but he later went broke several times because of poor bankroll management.
Newhouse then made history at the World Series of Poker Main Event: he reached the November Nine in 2013 and finished 9th for $733,224, and a year later he made the final table again and finished 9th for $730,725. He is the only player to make the November Nine twice and the first to make back-to-back Main Event final tables since Dan Harrington in 2003 and 2004. He has more than $3.5 million in live tournament earnings.
