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 {Qd}{Jd} while Welch showed {Ad}{Kd}. The flop came {4d}{5c}{6c} and audience members started calling for threes and sevens, which would've created chop-pot scenarios. For dramatic effect, the {3d} fell on the turn and audience members got a good laugh out of it. The river brought the {Ah}, which sealed the deal for Welch, who increased his chip stack to 1,600,000 on the hand.

Really??.. I dnt knw abt tht.This is the biggest tourney of the year, you are deep, have KQ flop comes three hearts, u don't think an amateur checks to make sure at some point in the hand whether he has a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] before triple barrelling???

I know its a useless tell against most experienced pros, but I think the other guy didnt sell it well enough and should have gone thru the act of looking down at his cards making sure he had it etc. before firing on the turn or the river makes it more believable imo..

I think you can royally suck at poker and still be able to remember what cards you have after looking at them one time.

On the other hand, I guess if this guy had been looking a lot previously, then maybe there's something to it. But in a vacuum it's ridiculous. Far more people don't check than do.

I frankly think that on these kind of boards, you just having to be willing to be bluffed, there are worst things, like, oh, busting out.

I wonder if ESPN will gently suggest to Spadea that shirts with sleeves are more the standard for televised poker, (please God, let him wear a shirt with sleeves!).

I doubt it. The tatoos make good TV. It is a story, something people will talk about.

Ken Smith Eliminated in 50th Place ($190,053)

Hevad "Rain" Khan has assumed the role of the Amazon Room's most animated character; he just let out a series of primal yells after eliminating Ken Smith from the tournament.

Khan had made it 120,000 to go from early position and was called by Jerry Yang, before Ken Smith pushed all-in for a total of 1,375,000. After some thought, Khan made the call, saying, "I hope I read him right!" Yang got out of the way, and Khan turned over his pocket Jacks. After Smith revealed his pocket 10's, Khan yelled, "I read him right!"

The board filled out {A-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and as he waited for the river to be dealt, Khan yelled "Come on . . . Come on!" When the {A-Diamonds} came on the river, Khan threw both of his arms into the air, screaming, "Yeeeahhh!"

The win improved Khan's chip stack to 5,800,000.
