Cody Slaubaugh Wins a Monster

We caught this hand on the turn when Cody Slaubaugh led out at a board of {8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Ryan Welch raised all in behind him.

Slaubaugh called and had Welch dominated with {A-Clubs}{8-Spades} vs. {A-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. The {7-Diamonds} on the river didn't change anything and Slaubaugh raked in the huge pot, putting his chips at 258,000. Welch lost the majority of his stack and now sits at just 39,000.
