Welco Sends McCullough to Rail

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Long-time Major League Baseball national sports reporter Robert "Andy" McCullough found himself short stacked with a sub-eight big blind stack at the start of Level 8 and moved all in from under the gun.

Craig Welco, who had McCullough covered, called from late position and the hands were tabled after the players in the blinds folded.

Robert McCullough: K5 All in
Craig Welco: KK

McCullough needed a lot of help, but he didn’t receive any when the dealer fanned 108A on the flop.

Welco’s dominating hand remained in control when 4 showed up on the turn, and A on the river officially sent McCullough to the rail.
