Welch Doubles Through Hilm at the Feature Table

Jason Welch just survived an all-in slugfest against Philip Hilm, under the lights of the ESPN feature table here in the Amazon Room.

Hilm made it 120,000 to go from early position and Welch came over the top of the raise, moving all in for a total of 765,000.

Hilm made the call and revealed the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} while Welch showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and audience members started calling for threes and sevens, which would've created chop-pot scenarios. For dramatic effect, the {3-Diamonds} fell on the turn and audience members got a good laugh out of it.

The river brought the {A-Hearts}, which sealed the deal for Welch, who increased his chip stack to 1,600,000 on the hand.
