Drama at at table 2

There is action plenty of action pre-flop and also on the flop of J 9 6 but both Charles Denton and John Welsh check the ace on the turn. The river is the 5 and Denton moves all in for 29700. The pot stood at 35000 before Denton’s bet and Welsh is put to the test.

He takes an age to make his decision as he pieces together the action. Eventually he calls the clock on himself and folds, showing K K . The ace might well have saved him from losing a lot more as Denton says he will be friendly and show his hand. It’s J J for the flopped set.

Welsh will have hated the sight of that ace but as it turns out he should be thankful that he had enough reason to fold his hand.
