Welch Earns Over a Million Chip Pot
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
With almost 400,000 in the middle on a turn board of 
, Robert Welch bet 275,000 from the small blind and was met with an all-in raise from Andre Marques in middle position for almost 600,000.
Welch went deep into the tank, then made the call.
Andre Marques: 
Robert Welch: 
Marques' Broadway straight had been caught by Welch's queen-high flush, with the 
on the river proving irrelevant.
With the win, Welch moves nearer to the two million chip club.
