Welko Hits the Rail
Level 14
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Robert Sherraden raised to 15,000 in the hijack and Craig Welko flatted on the button. The flop of 7♥8♠5♣ checked through to the J♣ turn.
Sherraden tossed out a bet for 20,000 and Welko called, bringing the 5♠ river. Sherraden bet 30,000 and Welko responded with a raise to 110,000. Sherraden then reraised all in to put Welko at risk who had about 135,000 behind.
Welko thought for a moment before reluctantly making the call with 10♦9♦ for the straight. He saw the bad news when Sherraden tabled 7♠7♣ for the rivered full house.
