Welko Eliminates Opponent on the Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Action went six-ways to a flop of 10♦2♥2♠ in a limped pot with the player in the big blind forced all in. It checked around to the player in middle position who bet 20,000 and Craig Welko raised it up to 60,000. Middle position decided to step aside.
Big blind: Q♠4♠ 
Craig Welko: J♦2♦
Welko had flopped trip deuces, leaving the big blind nearly drawing dead. The 7♥ turn and 6♦ river offered no help to the big blind and he was sent to the rail on the stone bubble.
