One King is Good For Welch, Two is Even Better
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Leo McClean raised to 5,500 in middle position and Min Ji called in the cutoff before button Mark Welch moved all in for 57,500. McClean asked Ji how much he had behind before calling, and Ji got out of the way.
Mark Welch: K?K?
Leo McClean: A?A?
Welch had run into a massive cooler near the end of the night as the 6?10?Q? flop left him on the verge of elimination. The turn, though, was the K? and Welch made a set to take the lead.
The K? came on the river for good measure and Welch made quads to lock up his double. McClean took a photo of the board before handing over the pot.
"Just in case," another tablemate said.
