: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Craig Welko raised to 12,000 in the cutoff and Duster Ellis three-bet jammed for 42,000 in the big blind to put himself at risk. Welko thought for a moment before making the call.
Duster Ellis: J♦J♥ 
Craig Welko: J♠9♠
Welko was in rough shape, but picked up some help on the 5♠3♦9♦ flop, pairing his nine. The turn fell the 8♥ and the river landed the 7♠, with Ellis' pair of jacks holding up.
