Live! Classic Main (Day 2): They Have Hesse-tory

Level 16 (Blinds 1,500/3,000/400)
Players Remaining: 19
Chip Average 172,000

It was a pot between Stephen Hesse and Charles Welch from Day 1A that would propel Welch to not only the end of day bonus, but chip lead going into Day 2.  The two were just involved in another huge pot, as the word "call" is heard from Table 39:

Board: A 3 Q 8 10

Welch slams down K J knowing he can't be beat, and Hesse helicopters is cards in the muck in disgust. With a pot already close to 50,000, Welch check raised Hesse 60,000 on the river.  So with the call that Stephen made, the pot would be close to 200,000.

Charles Welch - 490,000
Stephen Hesse - 70,000
