Welsh Runs Into Pappis' Queens

Level 3 : Limits 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Ronnie Bardah raised in the cutoff and Michael Pappis three-bet on the button. Kerry Welsh called in the small blind, as did Bardah.

The flop came 889 and Pappis continued with a bet. Welsh then raised and Bardah folded, while Pappis called.

Welsh bet again on the 4 turn, and Pappis called. Welsh checked the 6 river and Pappis bet. Welsh called and turned over A10, but Pappis had QQ to win the pot.

Jesse Lonis and Renan Bruschi have both recently joined the field.
