En-guh-land's Chances Dimmed

David Welch raised with air and got caught. He and Anders Andersson went to war on the turn of a {A-Spades} {5-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} board. Welch was the first aggressor, making it 3,500 to go. Andersson responded by raising to 11,500. Welch thought things over, then put in another raise by matching the 11,500 and sliding a stack of yellow (1,000) chips out across the betting line for a total bet of 31,500. Andersson responded by moving all in for 35,700. Incredibly, Welch went into the tank!

"How much is it?" he asked the dealer. "I don't think I can call." The dealer informed him the raise was 4,200 more back to him.

"I can't call!" said Welch. "I've got nothing." He shooed away a massage therapist that was giving him a massage so he could figure out what to do. Finally he decided that he could indeed call and made the call with {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades} -- a gutshot straight. Andersson showed {4-Hearts} {4-Spades} for a set of fours.

Welch was drawing live to the winner, but missed the river with the {10-Hearts}. He's down to 27,600. Andersson is now on 79,000.
