Welch Is Going Back and Forth

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Joshua Welch, seated at the button, opened the action with a raise to 2,600,000, which was called by Andy Chen.

On the flop 6K8, both players opted to check.

Welch took the initiative on the turn 5, betting 3,500,000, which Chen check-called.

No further action occurred on the river 7, leading to a showdown. Welch revealed A7 for a pair of sevens, while Chen showed A8, increasing his stack as Welch's stack dwindled to 8,500,000.

In the very next hand, Martin Alcaide started things off from middle position with a raise to 2,500,000. Welch, now in the cutoff, responded by going all in.
