Welker and Brent Get Involved in Two Big Pots
In the first hand between the players, the action was picked up on the flop of 3♣A♥3♥. The pot was already 13,000, but neither player decided to bet on the flop.
The turn was the 2♠. Jamie Brent, who was first to act in the big blind, checked. Bryce Welker now bet 6,000, which Brent called.
The players got dealt the K♥ on the river. Brent checked again and Welker bet 25,000. After thinking for a moment, Brent called and a few seconds later mucked his hand after seeing his opponent flip over A♠3♠ for a flopped full house.
Less than an orbit later, Brent opened the action from under the gun, with Welker calling in the cutoff. After the other players folded, the two went to the J♠3♦6♥ flop. Brent checked, and Welker bet 6,000. Brent now raised to 18,000. Bryce took a few moments and made the call.
The turn was the 7♠. Brent continued betting, this time for 30,000. Welker shifted in his chair and asked his opponent: “You got it?”. He took another minute, talking himself quietly through a visibly tough decision and finally folded, sending a big pot the other way to even things out.
