Craig Welko Eliminated in 21st Place ($2,227)
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Craig Welko raised to 60,000 from under the gun and was called by Rafael Lopez and Marlon Hammond in the blinds. The flop came Q♦10♠3♦ and the action checked around to the 6♦ on the turn.
Lopez led out with a bet of 90,000 which got Hammond to quickly fold. Welko raised to 225,000 and Lopez announced all in for 1,040,000. Welko deliberated for nearly two minutes before calling off his stack of 1,010,000.
Craig Welko: 6♠6♥
Rafael Lopez: A♦Q♥
Welko had a set of sixes and just needed to fade diamonds in order to double up. However, it was the J♦ on the river that gave Lopez a flush and eliminated Welko.
