Welch Scoops with Straight
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
On a three-way turn of 9?A?4?2?, Bill Welch and two other players got all the chips in, with Welch as the middle stack.
Player 1: A?7?8?4?
Bill Welch: 9?9?5?3?
Player 2: A?Q?6?2?
Welch had a stranglehold on the hand with his turned nut straight and backup set of nines, all he needed to do was fade an ace or a spade.
Luckily for him, the river was the brick Q? and he scooped the entire pot to eliminate the shorter stack.
