Welds Wielding Big Stack

Chip leader Tony Welds opened for 2,600 from the hijack seat, then Phillip Weast pushed all in over the top for about 27,000 total from the cutoff. It folded back to Welds who hesitated just a moment before making the call.

Weast tabled {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, but Welds had {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, and after the board came {3-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{K-Clubs}, Weast joined the throng of players heading to the cashier while Welds increased his lead over the remaining field.
