Welch All In Pre

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Action started with a raise from early position to 1,500. Edward Welch, sitting just under starting stack with 17,000, shoved from the button. The preflop raiser thought for a moment before getting chatty.

"That's nearly 30 big blinds. Why so much? Do you want to re-reg already?"

"It's a freezeout," responded Welch.

"Ok, I call," was the reply, and cards were tabled.

Edward Welch: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Early position: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

At risk but ahead, Welch had two outs to dodge on the flop. The first three cards ran {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, giving his opponent some backdoor hopes.

The turn of {3-Diamonds} then tripled the early position's outs.

"Five, give me a five," was the call.

The river was low, but not enough and the {4-Diamonds} saw Welch receive a full double to almost twice the starting stack.
