Weldon Smacks the Flop
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 10: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Chad Weldon raised to 5,000 under the gun and Monte Brekhus called in the cutoff, while Randy Brunelle called all in for less in the big blind.
Weldon bet 6,500 on the K♠Q♠8♥ flop and Brekhus called to create a side pot. Weldon then bet 10,500 on the 9♥ turn, and Brekhus folded this time.
Weldon showed K♥Q♣ for top two pair, while Brunelle had 9♣2♥. The 2♦ river was a cruel tease as Brunelle hit his own two pair, but it wasn't enough for him to avoid heading to the exit.
