Cha Gets Knockout in Hand That Goes Into Break

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Players were already heading off to break when Kyung Cha, Austin Welch, and Jim Butler called the all in of a short-stack, building up a side pot of around 30,000.

All three players checked the {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop before Cha bet 16,000 on the {8-Hearts} turn. Only Welch called to see the {6-Clubs} river. Cha bet another 45,000 and Welch thought for a few minutes before folding.

Cha turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for the nut flush on the river while the all in player had {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} to hit the rail.

"If I played my hand correctly you would have all my chips," Welch said, claiming to have had pocket queens before joining the rest of the field on break.
