Chung Doubles Through Welch
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Billy Welch limped from middle position and Stephanie Chung checked her option in the big blind to bring out a J?10?A? flop.
Chung checked over to Welch, who bet 30,000. Chung paused briefly before check-raising to around 100,000. Welch wasted little time in saying, "Okay, let's see if I've got some luck," while putting in a raise that would put Chung all in.
Chung quickly called and was at risk headed to the runout.
Stephanie Chung: K?Q?9?2?
Billy Welch: A?K?J?5?
Chung had flopped the nuts but Welch had boat outs that would spell the end of Chung's day if he hit. But when the turn and river came the 7? and 10?, Chung was safe, having secured a double-up.
