Welch Fades the Straight Flush Draw to Double Up
Nivel 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Action was picked up on the turn with roughly 26,000 in the pot, and the board showing 9♣8♥K♣9♠.
After the turn Dale Whiteside checked to Edward Welch who bet all in for his stack 18,300. Whiteside sat in the tank debating his decision, before electing to make the call to put Welch at risk.
Edward Welch: A♣K♦ 
Dale Whiteside: Q♣J♣
It was a cooler flop as Welch flopped top pair-top kicker, and Whiteside flopped a gut shot straight flush draw. But when the river came the Q♠ Whiteside was not able to improve past the pair of kings from Welch and he doubled up, leaving Whiteside short.
