Welko's Aggressiveness Pays off

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Brian Noel raised to 1,500 UTG getting two callers, John Lyons in mid position and Craig Welko on the button.

Noel fired 2,500 on a {3-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop. Lyons folded, while Welko called.

Noel check-called Welko's 5,700 bet on the {6-Hearts} turn.

A {5-Spades} fell on the river and Noel checked again. Welko stayed aggressive tossing a 8,000 bet out. Noel tanked before he called only to see Welko turned two pair with {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.
