Welko Doubles Through Donato
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Craig Welko got most of his stack in preflop from the small blind against Justin Donato on the button. He check-called off the last 30,000 after the 2♦A♥8♣ flop with A♣Q♥. He was ahead of K♥J♥ and had little to worry about until the 8♥ turn. The 5♠ river didn't deal the death blow, though.
