Welko Doubles Through Brinkman

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Craig Welko
Craig Welko

Craig Welko opened to 6,000 on the button, and Cory Brinkman defended the big blind. Brinkman check-raised all in over a small bet after the 10♦7♠3♣ flop, and Welko quickly called and flipped A♥A♠ into the middle.

He was leading against K♥10♥ and neither the 9♦ nor the 2♥ changed that.

Stand-Up Trick Works

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Cory Brinkman shoved for 25,000 under the gun, and Charlie Dawson called on his left.

Cory Brinkman: K♥Q♣ All in
Charlie Dawson: A♦J♦

The 4♦4♥K♦ flop kept things interesting as Brinkman improved to a leading pair but Dawson had a diamond draw. He got there on the 7♦, and Brinkman patted the table and stood up. No sooner had he done so than the K♣ arrived to save him.

"Oh!" someone said. "Stand-up trick worked!"

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Rodney Deaton was in late position and staring at an all-in bet from an opponent in the blinds. The board read QxQx5x, there was about 70,000 in the pot, and Deaton only had 23,000 left. He placed it in the middle.

Rodney Deaton: 4x4x All in
Opponent: 9x9x

Deaton got up to leave, but the dealer delivered a 4x right away. The Jx confirmed his double on the river.

Russell Check-Raises And Wins

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Bryan Russell was in the hijack and made it 5,500 preflop over a limp. The cutoff called, as did the limper.

On the 2♥K♥5♠, Russell continued for 4,000. The cutoff called and they went heads up to the 4♠. Russell checked. The cutoff bet 11,000. After about 30 seconds, Russell slid in a tower of T5,000 chips to put his opponent at risk, but that player snap-folded.

At another table, Brian Jones went bust.

Much-Needed Double For Lawrence

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Down to 15,000, Matthew Lawrence shoved from second position and received a call from the player on his left.

Matthew Lawrence: A♦Q♣ All in
Opponent: 9♦9♣

The 4♠10♠2♣ flop brought little for Lawrence but the Q♥ was exactly what he needed. A 6♦ river was a brick.
