Lopez Smacks River
Level 15
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
John Lopez began the action with a raise to 18,000 from the hijack. He was called by Papa Karn in the cutoff and Craig Welko in the big blind.
Welko checked it over to Lopez on the 10♥Q♣2♣ flop. Lopez continued for 27,000, which garnered a fold from Papa Karn. Welko was not done with the hand and made the call.
Both players checked the A♠ turn, which brought the 5♠ river. Welko chose to bet 42,000, but Lopez wanted to play for more and raised the price to 100,000.
Welko went into the tank as he speculated what his opponent could have before he decided to make the call.
Lopez showed the bad news as he revealed 5♦5♣ for a rivered set as Welko pitched his cards into the muck.
