Welsh Rivers Two-Outer to Survive
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Lars Sommer opened to 70,000 under the gun, and was faced with a three-bet jam by Simon Welsch to 345,000. Action folded back to Sommer, who made the quick call.
Simon Welsch: 9♣9♠ 
Lars Sommer: Q♣Q♦
Welsch was in trouble, and seemed to be heading for the exit after the runout came K♦7♣6♠6♦. After the turn hit, Welsch moved back in his chair preparing to exit, but the 9♦ rolled off on the river to give him a set and keep him in the running, much to his surprise and delight.
