Chung Doubles Through Welch
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Billy Welch limped from middle position and Stephanie Chung checked her option in the big blind to bring out a J♠10♦A♣ flop.
Chung checked over to Welch, who bet 30,000. Chung paused briefly before check-raising to around 100,000. Welch wasted little time in saying, "Okay, let's see if I've got some luck," while putting in a raise that would put Chung all in.
Chung quickly called and was at risk headed to the runout.
Stephanie Chung: K♠Q♠9♣2♦
Billy Welch: A♥K♦J♣5♣
Chung had flopped the nuts but Welch had boat outs that would spell the end of Chung's day if he hit. But when the turn and river came the 7♥ and 10♥, Chung was safe, having secured a double-up.
