{K-Hearts}

. Not good news for Markholt and his {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

.

Flop: {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{4-Spades}

- The flop certainly made things interesting. With Markholt and his Victory Poker rail calling for the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

or

{6-Diamonds}

, Richey was willing to meet them half way. "I'll give you the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

," he said.

Turn: {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

- "Well, that's the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

," said Scott Seiver, since Markholt had picked up a gutshot but not a flush draw.

River: {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

- That wasn't the eight or ten that Markholt needed to survive. Richey earned the $5,000 bounty for busting Markholt and $75,000 for winning his table.
