Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Craig Welko raised to 1,800 from under the gun and was three-bet by Jim Young in middle position to 5,300. Welko made the call and the flop came 10♣9♠2♥.
Welko check-called a bet of 7,000 from Young and the turn fell the J♠. Welko checked again and Young moved all in to put Welko at risk, who had 17,700 behind. Welko quickly called.
Craig Welko: 10♠10♦ 
Jim Young: A♠5♠
Welko needed to dodge a spade to stay alive, and he did just that when the 6♦ rolled off on the river, earning him the double up.
