Noel Scruggs opened with an under-the-gun raise to 42,000, and Ryan Welch called from the big blind. The two men took a flop of 
, and Welch checked. When Scruggs continued out with a bet of 40,000, he check-raised to 115,000 total, and Scruggs quickly folded.
Two hands later, it was Sergey Lebedev raising to 36,000 to open the pot and Ryan Welch three-bet to 107,000 right next door on the button. After taking his pause, Lebedev stacked out a four-bet of 255,000 total and slid it into the pot. Welch tanked for about two minutes before announcing an all in, and Lebedev snap-mucked, dropping him down to 580,000.
After those two pots, Welch is up to 1.32 million.
