Welch Scoops with Straight
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
On a three-way turn of 9♠A♦4♠2♥, Bill Welch and two other players got all the chips in, with Welch as the middle stack.
Player 1: A♣7♠8♠4♥
Bill Welch: 9♣9♥5♣3♠
Player 2: A♠Q♥6♥2♠
Welch had a stranglehold on the hand with his turned nut straight and backup set of nines, all he needed to do was fade an ace or a spade.
Luckily for him, the river was the brick Q♦ and he scooped the entire pot to eliminate the shorter stack.
