Nicholas Tsoukalas opened from the cutoff and Kerry Welsh called on the button.

On the 6♠J♠K♣ flop, Welsh check-called a bet and did so again on the 6♦ turn. When the 4♠ hit the river, Welsh check-folded, giving up the pot to Tsoukalas.

During the hand, the players were discussing the rail and who is watching.

"My wife could have come, but she has ironing to do," said Welsh. "She didn't want to miss Tuesday ironing," he added with a smile.

Shortly after, Welsh raised again from the cutoff and Moshe Gavrieli called in the big blind.

The flop came 3♣6♠10♦ and Gavrieli check-called a bet to the J♣ turn, where he checked again. Welsh then bet, and Gavrieli stuck in a raise.

"Ok, you got it," responded Welsh as he folded.

Not long after that, Welsh raised from under the gun and Gavrieli raised the small blind. Welsh put in another raise, and Gavrieli called.

On the 2♠A♠2♦ flop, Gavrieli check-folded to a bet from Welsh and showed pocket jacks. Welsh was kind enough to show Big Slick as he raked in the pot.

Kerry Welsh raised from the cutoff before Nicholas Tsoukalas three-bet from the small blind. Moshe Gavrieli called from the big blind, and Welsh also called.

Tsoukalas led out on the K♥3♥7♥ flop, and only Gavrieli called.

The 6♦ fell on the turn, and Tsoukalas bet again. Gavrieli called.

Tsoukalas checked the 3♦ river, and then instantly called after Gavrieli bet. Gavrieli showed A♠K♦ for a pair of kings, causing Tsoukalas to muck.

Blinds: 25,000-50,000
Limits: 50,000-100,000

A few pots went Nicholas Tsoukalas' way before he lost a chunk to Kerry Welsh.

Welsh opened from under the gun and Tsoukalas three-bet the button. Welsh then made a four-bet, and Tsoukalas called.

On the 4♥10♦3♦ flop, Welsh bet and Tsoukalas called to see the K♣ turn, where again Welsh bet and Tsoukalas called.

Both checked the Q♥ river and Welsh flipped A♥K♦ for top pair, which earned him the pot as Tsoukalas mucked.
